Looking for time travellers is a fascinating hobby but it is not an easy thing to do. It can even be dangerous. This makes it an excellent activity for October half-term... Do you know that Horsforth is a time traveller 'hot spot'? Oh yes, and Saturday October 10th will finally see the release of 'Time Traveller Spotting in Horsforth and Beyond'! Woohoo! This special guide explains how to spot time travellers safely. It is the passion project of a local illustrator: a full colour, picture-packed, interactive pocket book created by Made in The Middle Illustration (of Horsforth); for people with imagination aged 7 plus. Why not come and grab yourself a copy of the signed and silver-foiled first edition? You may even decide to become a time traveller yourself.
Although 'Time Traveller Spotting in Horsforth and Beyond' features Horsforth and surround, the principles of safe time traveller spotting will apply in most places. The book is stuffed with expert tips, check-lists and ideas. Time travellers are often 'hidden in plain sight'. You are invited to examine familiar places through this fantastical 'new lens'. Turn your routine walks or simple weekend outings into adventures...
Copies of 'Time Traveller Spotting in Horsforth and Beyond' will cost £7.99 each and be available, whilst stocks last, from the three small, independent businesses which also appear in the book. These are: Marples sweet shop (LS18 4AH), Eden Bespoke Flowers shop (LS18 4AH) and the Truly Scrummy cafe (LS18 4AP) on Horsforth's Town Street. Parents will be pleased to note that these independent businesses also display the TTA (Time Traveller Awareness safety badge).
