Scrunchie Scavenger Hunt 🎀

As part of our 2nd birthday celebrations, we’re running a special scavenger hunt on Sunday 13th July!

5 special prizes are hidden around some of our favourite venues across the city centre.

🎁 The Prize
5 custom Third Place scrunchies designed and sustainably made by itsrooper are up for grabs - paired with Third Place vouchers to redeem against any 2025 Third Place event ticket.

📱How to Take Part
We’ll give you some hints about the prize locations on Instagram stories later this week. Be ready from 12pm on Sunday 13th July to hit the streets of Manchester and get scrunchie hunting!

If you find a scrunchie, post a photo of you with it on your Instagram story, tagging and the venue you found it in. Then drop us a DM so we can share your voucher code.

🫶 If you’ve been to one of our events before, this is the perfect excuse to message someone you met there and do the scavenger hunt together.

[T&Cs: The Third Place Scrunchie Scavenger hunt will happen on Sunday 13th July 2025. There will be 5 individual winners. Each prize consists of 1 scrunchie and 1 Third Place voucher. Each person may only claim one prize.]
