We've got a mission for you in

Barnsley

Uh-oh, trouble is brewing in the town of Barnsley! The notorious Dr Bea Nasty is fed up with the nosy locals trying to meddle with her plans for world domination. In a devious act of revenge, she has created a diabolical device that will cause all humans within a 10-mile radius to grow an extra large nose on their forehead. But when will this ghastly gadget be activated? It's a mystery… and it's up to YOU, our top spies at Spy HQ, to quickly pick up the scent and sniff out the clues to help us uncover the deactivation code before it's too late.

Spy Mission Through the Streets of Barnsley

Are you ready for an exciting day out with family and friends? Then join us on this self-guided spy mission themed Treasure Trail through the charming town of Barnsley. As you follow the trail, you'll solve sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to crack the code and complete the mission just like a true secret agent.

The circular route starts outside the iconic Town Hall and leads you on a quest through the streets, lanes, and alleys of Barnsley. Along the way, you'll discover the town's rich history and industrial heritage, as well as newer developments and sculptures.

Watch out for enemy agents trying to track you down during your mission. Dr Nasty has caught wind of your assignment and can smell that something fishy is going on… so stay on your toes!
