The Witch's Curse - A Magical Quest to Break the Spell
For years, the city of Manchester has been under the wicked witch Abby Cadabra's curse, bringing never-ending rainfall to its streets. It's up to YOU to break the spell and bring back the sun, but beware of the fantastical beasts that roam the area!

Perfect for 4-8 year olds, the concept behind the Clubs is that your child will get a bundle of goodies to excite

Before You Set Off
Before You Set Off
Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...
Unfortunately, the Trail is not marked as friendly for wheelchairs due to the number of steps along the route. However, most of those steps can be easily bypassed with a pushchair, and the only major ones have a lift to get you up to the top!
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 at Q-Park Piazza (M1 4LX), just a five-minute walk away. Or why not try one of Manchester's fantastic Park and Ride services? The Trail start is perfectly placed for access via the tram, with a nearby tram stop at St Peter's Square.
There are some fantastic events in Manchester's calendar, all of which are great 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 on these occasions - especially Christmas. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Manchester Visitor Information.
There are toilets available at the People's History Museum and the John Rylands Library. (Please check John Rylands Library opening hours by clicking here, as they are not open every day of the week.) There is a myriad of cafes, restaurants, pubs and other eating establishments to visit from Clue 13 onwards.
Why not make a day of it by taking a look inside Manchester Cathedral or visiting one of Manchester's fantastic attractions, like the Science and Industry Museum or the People's History Museum? You could even try our other Manchester Trails to uncover more twisting tales about this amazing city!
