Banishing the blues, head down to the dock and search for £1,000-worth of vouchers

Blue Monday is often described as one of the gloomiest days of the year, but Royal Albert Dock Liverpool is looking to turn that on its head and banish the blues with a scavenger hunt for £1,000-worth of vouchers. 

From 10am on Monday 19 January, visitors are encouraged to search for blue envelopes hidden across the inner quay - inside each one they will find one of 10 £100 vouchers, available to redeem across a selection of popular dockside venues. That could be anything from a meal to an immersive attraction or a spot of shopping. 

Sean Morrison, Estate Manager at Royal Albert Dock Liverpool, says: “Blue Monday is often considered one of the most challenging days of the year, so we wanted to create something fun and uplifting that gives people a reason to get out and enjoy the dock. With such a fantastic mix of restaurants, attractions and shops, this giveaway is our way of spreading a little joy and helping visitors make the most of everything on offer.”

Participating venues include; Maray, Lost Soles, Miller and Carter, House of Spells, The Botanist, Rudy’s Pizza, The Beatles Story, Escape Hunt, Gusto, What’s Cooking and The Botanist.

With January deals already on offer at several of these venues, the vouchers will go even further, making it easy to enjoy a day out at Liverpool’s iconic waterfront.

For clues on where to find the vouchers, follow the dock on Instagram @TheAlbertDock where hints will be shared.
