Alongside each of the Magic Windows is a panel promoting a local business from each of the participating town centres.

Using QR codes, each panel will direct passers-by to Percy the Penguin’s website where they will find a range of offers and exclusive discounts for participating local businesses.

As children follow Percy’s journey and next chapter of the story, grown-ups can follow their own quest for bargains and exclusive discounts and discover new outlets across the delightful North Yorkshire towns in their search for festive gifts.

A number of businesses are taking part in the promotional windows offering exclusive discounts and offers, that can only be accessed by the QR codes on the magical windows.
