Merry men successfully spread the word about Robin Hood’s Tax in Brighton!

(…and enjoy plenty of jolly banter on the way!)
Last Saturday supporters of the Robin Hood Tax took Brighton by storm as they took part in our first Robin Hood Tax Treasure Hunt to raise awareness of the campaign.
The event was a huge success! Over twenty Robin Hoods could be spotted running around the city dressed head to toe in green on what turned out to be the hottest day of the year. The five teams tweeted, videoed and took photos all around the city as well as braving challenges such as busking with tambourines and dressing up as a banker in the Oxfam shop.

Merry woman Miriam Nicholson said “It was a really fun day, the sun shone and the treasure trail took us to different locations in the city. We made videos and took photographs and everyone we spoke to thought that the Robin Hood Tax is a good idea and backed the campaign”

A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to the team at the Robin Hood pub who let us set up HQ there for the day.

If you would like to show support for the campaign which aims to put a tiny tax of 0.05% on bank-to-bank transactions to raise funds to address poverty, come along to the second of these banterous treasure hunts in East London this Sunday 2nd May. There will be the opportunity to partake in plenty of banditry plus the chance to win tickets to top summer festivals!

The treasure hunt will run from 1pm – 6pm, starting outside the Richmix Cultural Centre at 35-47 Bethnal Green Road, London E1 6LA. Tickets are £2.00, donations to Oxfam.

Places can be booked on the Robin Hood Game website.
