The Case of the Missing Lincolnshire Sausage Man

For many years, Bill 'Porky' Bangers was the undisputed champion sausage maker of Lincolnshire. His bangers were legendary, with secret recipes that made his rivals green with envy. But one fateful day, Porky met his untimely end, found smoked in the shadow of Exchequer Gate. To make matters wurst, his butcher's shop had been ransacked, his safe cracked open, and his award-winning recipes stolen. Was this the work of a jealous competitor determined to grill their way to the top? Or a sausage saboteur with a taste for trouble?

Local police have interrogated several suspects, but their inquiries are looking decidedly half-baked. Detective Chief Inspector Chipper Larter, never one to mince his words, is calling on some top-notch sleuths (YOU!) to step in and help crack the case. So, can you uncover who knocked the stuffing out of poor Porky by piecing together the evidence and bringing home the bacon?

Who Stuffed the Lincolnshire Sausage Man?

Future detectives, are you ready for a real-life adventure? This self-guided detective mystery investigation takes you through the ancient streets of Lincoln. You'll uncover fascinating stories as you hunt through the grounds of the breathtaking cathedral and around the looming castle (which is nearly 1000-years-old)!

But there's a twist to this tale tail…

Lincoln is shocked at the sudden loss of Porky Bangers! Though well-loved as the best sausage maker in England, he had many rivals jealous of his success. With his shop and safe robbed, foul play is suspected. Can you solve the sneaky clues and catch the jealous villain before they strike again?

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

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

This route is friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs, although expect to negotiate some cobbles.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy city centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

The closest long stay pay and display car parks to the Trail start point are the Westgate car parks (LN1 3BG), just a five-minute walk away.

There are some fantastic events in Lincoln's calendar, all of which are fantastic times to visit this beautiful city. However, you may find that 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 Lincoln 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 the stunning Lincoln Cathedral and incredible Lincoln Castle (home to one of the last surviving copies of the Magna Carta!)? Or maybe you could spend your afternoon strolling around the tranquil John Dawber Gardens - it's a great picnic spot!
