MAYOR of Derry City and Strabane District Council, Cllr Elisha McCallion is donning her Willy Wonka costume over the next few weeks as part of a quirky Golden Ticket initiative.
The giveaway will see five lucky families from across the Council area securing a Golden Ticket to the fantastic Brick Wonders Lego Exhibition on display at the Nerve Centre.
Launching details of her Legenderry Licks Golden Ticket giveaway, Mayor, Cllr Elisha McCallion said she will be handing out Legenderry Licks chocolate bars to children and young people when she is out and about at her Mayoral engagements and events, with the lucky recipients getting the chance to secure one of five Golden tickets to the exhibition.
The chocolate bars are made locally by Legenderry Licks and are available at the Visit Derry offices.
Mayor McCallion says the initiative is a fun way of promoting the local chocolate company as well as creating a buzz and excitement around the Brick Wonders exhibition that is currently in the city until 06 May.
The Mayor says the Brick Wonders Lego Exhibition in Derry is its only Irish showcase and is the ideal event for families over the mid-term break and Easter holidays.
As well as viewing the 70-piece exhibition, families can create their own fantastic LEGO creations in the play and create area or take part in some of the workshops organised to complement the event in the city.
The Mayor has a message for kids all over the Council area who are keen to get their hands on a Golden Ticket.
“If you see me out and about over the coming weeks, make sure and be on your best behaviour as I will be keeping an eye out for good boys and girls who deserve a Legenderry Licks chocolate bar and who knows you could be a Golden ticket winner!”
Those interested in attending the Brick Wonders Exhibition are encouraged to book in advance by contacting the Nerve Centre at www.nervecentre.org
