They are a really good and fun way to explore a new town or city, or your local area... Suitable for all ages. We are in our 70's.

A trail of clues awaits in

Christchurch

Christchurch is known for its peaceful atmosphere and beautiful scenery, making it the perfect destination for a family-friendly adventure. But when renowned dessert chef, Marsha Mellow, arrived to showcase her new recipes at the foodie festival, she never expected to become the victim of a crime!

While preparing her latest chocolate cake, Marsha was found unconscious and semi-submerged in her own mix. The local police suspect that one of her jealous rivals may be responsible, but Marsha knows the truth-her recipes have been stolen and hidden away on a nearby island.

As top adventurers, you have been called upon to brave the wilds of Christchurch and retrieve Marsha's delicious recipes. Are you ready for a fun and immersive experience that will test your skills and senses?

The Hunt for Marsha's Yummy Recipes

Embark on an exciting self-guided trail through Christchurch's priory, quay, and high street, as you follow in Marsha's footsteps. Keep your eyes peeled for cleverly hidden clues, scattered throughout the town's landmarks and buildings.

From the peaceful priory to the bustling high street, you'll encounter exciting challenges that will put your detective skills to the test. But beware, the guilty culprit is still at large and will do whatever it takes to keep Marsha's recipes hidden.

Grab your family, lace up your walking shoes, and get ready for an unforgettable adventure in Christchurch!

More Information:

Before you set off on your awesome adventure to explore Christchurch, there are a few things you need to know... 

The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is through a town centre, so dogs may need to be on leads.

The best place to park is at the Wick Lane car park (BH23 1HT), just a two-minute walk away from the start of the Trail, or Bank Close (BH23 1JG) if full.

There are some fantastic events in Christchurch’s calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. Please check for events before setting off.

There are public toilets available towards the middle of the Trail, and the route passes several places to pick up some refreshments along the way. Alternatively, the quay makes for a lovely picnic spot! 

Looking for more things to do in Christchurch? Make a day of it and take a peek inside Christchurch Priory or visit the Red House Museum and Gardens to learn more twisting tales about Christchurch from the Ice Age to modern times.

Mini Explorer Club

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 the Trail, and something to be given on completion of the Trail as a keepsake.
