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.

We've got a mission for you in

Port Sunlight

Port Sunlight is in danger of disappearing under an avalanche of soapy suds and foamy bubbles! The evil genius, Professor Ivor Leek, has hidden a fiendishly cunning device in the cellars below the old soap factory. This device is programmed to release soap powder into the water supply for the fountain and cause bubble mayhem. But don't worry, we've got a squeaky clean team of Special Agents (that's YOU) to follow the Trail of Clues and save the day!

Port Sunlight - Bubble Trouble

Calling all slippery spies! We need your help on this covert mission to stop Professor Leek's dastardly plans. Explore the beautifully preserved historical model village and discover over 125 years of fascinating facts and twisting tales. But watch out for horrid henchmen who could be hidden around every corner!

Follow the Bubble Bubble Trail and track down clues amidst the rich architecture and landscape of Port Sunlight. But don't get too distracted by the pretty sights and surroundings - your mission is to save the village from total bubble trouble!

Are YOU ready to join the mission and save Port Sunlight from a soapy disaster?

Navigating The Route

This is a circular spy mission through the historic village of Port Sunlight, with agents following pavements and quiet streets as they track down Professor Leek’s slippery scheme.

The route is mostly flat with wide pavements, but there are a few uneven surfaces, grassy sections and steps to access certain clues. As a result, it is not fully suitable for wheelchairs, though should be manageable for pushchairs in most areas. Stay alert when crossing roads and keep your team moving carefully as you navigate the village.

Getting There

Time to deploy your agents and begin the operation:

The Causeway, opposite Port Sunlight War Memorial (CH62 5DZ) - Your official mission start point. Parking can be found on nearby residential streets close to the garden centre (CH62 5DY). Choose your spot wisely and stay alert for any suspicious activity…

Need the Loo?

Even elite agents need a quick comfort break!

Toilets are available at:

The Art Gallery (free entry, with café and facilities)

Port Sunlight Museum (customer toilets available)

There are also tea rooms and cafés along the route for a well-timed undercover refuel.

Bring Your Furry Sidekicks

Four-legged agents are welcome on this mission with some restrictions.

With quiet streets and green spaces to explore, it’s a great outing for canine companions - just keep leads handy near roads and public areas. One clue is set in a churchyard, which should be accessible 24 hours a day. Access for dogs is restricted here, so please be aware if taking a four-legged friend on your mission.

Safe Zones & Refuelling

You’ll pass plenty of ideal undercover break spots along the way, including:

Tea Rooms and a pub

The Art Gallery (with café and picnic areas)

Museum and gift shop stops

All perfect for regrouping, reviewing your intel and keeping your energy levels squeaky clean.


Want to Make a Day of It?

Model Village & Hidden History

Port Sunlight is one of the UK’s finest preserved industrial garden villages, with beautiful architecture and fascinating history around every corner - perfect cover for undercover agents.

Art, Culture & Covert Clues

From the Lady Lever Art Gallery to historic buildings and memorials, there’s plenty to explore beyond your mission. Keep your eyes peeled - inspiration (and intel) can be found everywhere.

Green Spaces & Peaceful Patrols

With leafy greens, quiet streets and scenic corners throughout, this is a more relaxed mission setting - though with Professor Leek involved, things could still get very messy…

Mini Secret Agent 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.
