Paisley town centre is welcoming spring with a free trail starting on Friday (March 29).

The Spring Farmyard Trail, which runs until April 15, is a family-friendly activity where participants search for 10 animals that have wandered off into the town.

Trail leaflets are available at the Piazza Shopping Centre or The Paisley Shopping Centre, or can be downloaded from the Paisley First website at www.paisleyfirst.com.

Once the trail has been completed, participants will be rewarded with a free crème egg at the final destination, Kettle Black, beside County Square.

Completed entry forms can be posted in special Farmyard post boxes situated in either of the shopping centres to be entered into a prize draw with two bumper Spring Hampers up for grabs.

Elaine Templeton, chair of Paisley First, said: "Brighter days are definitely on the way and our Paisley town centre businesses have everything you need to help you enjoy a great day out during the school holidays.

"Our Spring Farmyard Trail is the perfect activity to get everyone out in the fresh air and have some free, family fun at the same time.

"Good Luck."
