Monster Invasion

at Bond Street (and city-wide)

Saturday 22nd – Sunday 30th October

 

Guess who’s back!

A brand NEW group on Monsters are on their way to town this October half-term… so you best get ready!

In order for them to get the best view of the city, those pesky monsters will be taking to rooftop locations once again creating the 2022 Monster Invasion Trail.

This year each monster location will have QR codes unlocking a secret code word to be collected… along with some exclusive MONSTER DEALS for shops and restaurants in the city.

Once you’ve collected all of the Monsters’ secret code words you’ll be able to collect your very own Chelmsford For You Monster Invasion Sticker.

You’ll be able to collect your Monster Maps at Bond Street from Saturday 22 October.
