Monkey Business in Portishead!

Portishead is preparing for its grand summer parade, with magnificent golden monkey mascot Monty taking pride of place. But just hours before the celebrations begin, Monty vanishes from his locked display case!

Police searching along the quayside uncover showbusiness agent Max Profit's Hidden Ledger. Its pages contain secret payments, coded messages and a list of suspicious performers, craftspeople and parade organisers. Somebody plans to sell Monty to a mysterious collector, and the police need YOUR help to uncover who!

Follow the clues, eliminate the innocent suspects and identify the vital evidence that exposes the culprit. Can you crack the case and recover Portishead's prized primate before the parade begins?

The Great Golden Monkey Hunt Through Portishead

Gather your family and friends for an exciting self-guided Detective Mystery through Portishead. As you follow the Trail, you'll explore the historic Esplanade, peaceful parkland and bustling marina, solving sneaky clues and crossing suspects and evidence from the Agent's Hidden Ledger.

The Trail begins and ends on the Esplanade, near the scenic Lake Grounds. Keep your eyes peeled as you investigate Portishead's mixture of old and new, searching signs, plaques and local landmarks for the answers you need.

Grab your detective hat, sharpen your powers of observation and prepare for some serious monkey business. Can YOU identify Monty's thief and return the golden guest of honour in time for the parade?
