Follow the clues in your chosen story one step at a time, working together as a crack team to solve the secret code at the end. Catapult yourselves into your very own immersive tale; whether a spy mission, detective mystery or treasure hunt, all adventurers, young and not-so-young, are guaranteed to love it!

Explore Leicestershire on your hand-picked Treasure Trail – there are 24 to choose from, all over this historic county, which features ancient battlefields, Saxon cathedrals and unbeatable Baltis! Tackle the paths less followed and the hills less climbed for a jam-packed day out with the family. The question is, where will your Trail journey begin?

It’ll take a team of royally good detectives to solve a historical mystery based around the statue of Richard III in Leicester, and only the shrewdest crew of super spies will be able to complete a stinky mission in Foxton Locks. Meanwhile, in Melton Mowbray, the eye is on the pies… wait, prize… for the town’s best treasure seekers (that’s YOU!). Are you up to the challenge?

Enjoy some of the best days out in Leicestershire, tackling our amazing Trails and getting to know your way around this fabulous county.
