A trail of clues awaits in

Burslem

Join the hunt for the Witch's Riches on this thrilling self-guided Treasure Trail through the historic town of Burslem. According to legend, Molly Leigh, a poor woman accused of being a witch, was buried in the local churchyard in 1746. But locals claim that her ghost still haunts the town, and her grave was even turned 90 degrees to thwart her spirit. But the real mystery is where did Molly get her wealth from? Rumour has it that her pet blackbird is still alive and has been spotted pinching jewels from local houses. Local birdwatcher, Tee Witcher, has even mapped out all possible drop zones and nesting spots, but she needs help. Are YOU ready to follow the clues and uncover the hoard of priceless treasures?

Treasure Hunt Through the Town of Pottery Fame

Looking for a fun day out with family and friends in Burslem? Then this self-guided Treasure Hunt is perfect for you! As you make your way through the town, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Learn about the town's famous potters, including Wedgwood, Doulton, and Enoch Wood, and discover its more recent claim to fame as the birthplace of Robbie Williams, Lemmy from Motorhead, and multiple world darts champion Phil Taylor.

Follow in Molly Leigh's footsteps as you explore the historic centre of Burslem, where her story began. But be warned, this Trail is not for the faint-hearted. Only the bravest treasure seekers will be able to solve the clues and uncover the Witch's Riches.
