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

Lavenham

Legend has it that the stars in the night sky above Lavenham are not stars at all, but sparkling diamonds. Inspired by this, Jane Taylor wrote the famous lullaby, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, which has been sung by generations of children. But what if the legend is true? What if the diamonds really do fall from the sky?

Your adventure begins in the historic village centre of Lavenham, where you'll embark on a self-guided treasure hunt through winding streets and alleyways, filled with booby traps and rival treasure seekers. Your mission is to follow in the footsteps of local night owl and amateur treasure hunter, Ian Somniack, and unearth his diamond hoard.

Twinkle, Twinkle, Little… Diamonds?!?

As you explore the village, keep an eye out for clues and notes left behind by Ian Somniack. Legend has it that he would watch as the diamonds fell from the sky at the break of dawn, then head off to search for them. Can you use his map and notes to find the diamonds before anyone else?

The stars are aligning… Are YOU ready for a sparkling adventure in Lavenham?

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

The route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs.

Bring your four-legged friends along! This Trail is along a dog-friendly route.

The closest long-stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is situated just off Church Street, alongside The Cock Horse Inn (CO10 9SA), less than a minute's walk away. 

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

There are public toilets available towards the beginning and end of the Trail, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way. 

Looking for more things to do in Lavenham? Make a day of it and visit Lavenham Guildhall to learn more twisting tales about the village, or head to the nearby Kentwell Hall and Gardens for even more exploration.

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.
