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.

Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
This route is not recommended for wheelchair users due to some uneven walkways and busy roads; however, those with pushchairs should find this manageable.
Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy town centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.
This Trail starts at Portmill Lane West car park (SG5 1DJ), which has a maximum stay of four hours. The closest long stay car park is Lairage Multi-Storey (SG5 1GN), approximately a five-minute walk away.
There are some fantastic events in Hitchin's calendar, as well as regular markets. Although these are great times to visit Hitchin, 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 Hitchin Visitor 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.
Why not make a day of it and visit Hitchin's British Schools Museum or spend your afternoon strolling around Butts Close or the nearby Oughtonhead Nature Reserve!
