Augmented reality trail to launch in Lichfield as part of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations – Lichfield Live®

An augmented reality experience is coming to Lichfield as part of the celebrations to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

It will see participants find seven characters that have come to life from Buckingham Palace by scanning QR codes at venues in the city centre.

Those taking part in The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Beacon Trail will choose how the story evolves as they encounter the likes of Charlie Crown and Theadora Throne.

Run by Visit Lichfield and outdoor experience developer High Street Safari, the free trail will take around 45 minutes to complete but can be followed in more than one visit.

It will run from tomorrow (30th April) to 12th June.

Cllr Iain Eadie, Lichfield District Council’s deputy leader, said:

“Her Majesty The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee is a wonderful occasion celebrating her many decades of dedicated service.

“We are delighted to team up with trail developer High Street Safari in offering this fun family activity as the district celebrates.”

The trail has been designed so that there is no need to enter venues, although some participating businesses will be offering discounts and vouchers to those taking part.

Did you know it costs over £600 per month to run Lichfield Live for our 6,000 daily readers? We need your regular donations to keep providing this free service. None of our team of professional journalists and web developers are paid – we’re all volunteers so any costs must come from either donations or adverts.

Can you help us reach our goal of £600 in monthly donations?

Unlike other news sites we won’t bombard you with intrusive ads, surveys and other nonsense that makes the page jump around. The ads we do have will only ever be from local advertisers, because we’re a community publication.
