The Case of the Bickering Poets
Long ago, the Mayor of Ledbury decided to hold a competition to create the town's first official poem. Two local poets, Prudence Ponder and Frankie Rhyme, battled it out, each convinced that their rhymes were the best. But the competition quickly turned sour as the poets' argument escalated, and they were found collapsed by the market house the next morning. The case was never solved, but police duo DI Blues and DI Twos have stumbled upon new evidence. They may not know their limericks from their haikus, but when it comes to catching criminals, they know they need YOU! Can you investigate the clues and discover who committed this terrible crime against rhyme (and the weapon they used)?
The Mystery of the Poets' Argument
Join DI Blues and DI Twos on an exciting self-guided Treasure Trail through the charming town of Ledbury. As you follow the Trail route, you'll explore the town's historic buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while solving sneaky clues to eliminate suspects and discover whodunit.
The Trail starts and finishes by the market house in the centre of Ledbury, one of the finest 'black and white' towns in the country. With its charm, tradition, and historic beauty, it's the perfect setting for a mystery adventure with family and friends.

PLEASE NOTE - There are no steps or stairs to negotiate during this case, making it a great case for Mini detectives in pushchairs, or super sleuths using wheelchairs, to take part in. However, some areas are gravelled which might make it trickier.
