Stomp for Stamps

Looking for a fun, free way to keep the kids active and entertained over the summer holidays? Stomp for Stamps is back and it’s the perfect family activity to enjoy together!

This exciting treasure hunt-style challenge encourages children to explore Portsmouth’s parks and green spaces while walking, cycling, scooting or wheeling. It’s a great way to stay active, enjoy the outdoors, and discover new parts of the city, all without needing the car!

Here’s how it works:

Pick up a free map book and pencils from any Portsmouth library.
Head out to explore five fun routes across the city, each featuring a friendly Pompey Monster and a hidden plaque with an animal or insect design.

Children can take colourful rubbings of the plaques and collect a sticker from the library for each one they complete.

Complete at least three routes to earn a special prize - a reusable Pompey Monsters metal water bottle, to be given out by your school when term starts again.

Plus, new for this year children can try the decoder challenge. Find symbols on each route to decode a hidden phrase for the chance to win a brand-new telescope!

Most routes are designed to be wheelchair and pushchair-friendly, so everyone can join in. Along the way, children will build confidence in map-reading, enjoy creative activities, and learn about healthy, active travel all while having fun as a family.

It’s a brilliant way to stay active and healthy, learn new skills and enjoy quality time outdoors.

To get started, just visit your local library to collect your free map and crayon.
