We have three super duper themed Clubs for your child to enjoy as part of their Treasure Trail experience.
Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite
them about their forthcoming Trail experience, something to keep them entertained whilst travelling to and from

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
This Trail takes you through the Abbey Gardens, which opens between 8am and 6:30pm.
Market days are Wednesdays and Saturdays and during this time, Clue 13 may become obscured.
This route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.
If you do bring your four-legged friends along, please note they are NOT allowed into the Quaker House gardens (Clue 15) and that it is also a busy town centre - so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Ram Meadow (IP33 1XP), just a five-minute walk away.
There are some fantastic events in Bury's calendar, from the amazing Christmas Fayre and Bury Festival to the Whitsun Fayre and Food and Drink Festival. Although these are great times to visit Bury, some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Bury St Edmunds Tourist Information.
There are public toilets available towards the beginning of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. The Abbey Gardens make a great picnic spot if the weather is nice!
Why not make a day of it and look inside Bury St Edmunds Abbey and St Edmundsbury Cathedral, or pay a visit to Moyse's Hall Museum to learn more about the town's early history!
