A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Ruddington

The quiet village of Ruddington has been thrown into chaos with the sudden disappearance of beloved seamstress, Mildred Cotton. Known for her beautiful tapestries and penchant for spreading gossip, Mildred was not well-liked among the local framework knitting community. Suspicion has fallen on her rival, Lacey Trim, but Lacey insists she is being framed. In a strange twist, a close examination of Mildred's latest tapestry has revealed a list of clues and potential suspects. It's up to a top detective like YOU to help DCI Steve Tichup solve the case before it unravels completely. Will you be able to follow the clues, deduce the culprit, and sew this case up before Lacey is driven out of town?

Treasure Hunt Through Historic Ruddington

Looking for a fun and family-friendly day out in Ruddington? Look no further than this self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail. As you follow the trail, you'll need to solve sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to eliminate suspects and discover the truth.

The circular trail will take you from the historic village centre, built in the late 19th century by Philo Mills, to the peaceful open spaces of the Country Park where you can enjoy a picnic, let your dog run free, or simply relax. Along the way, you'll find plenty of places to grab a bite to eat, and several fascinating museums to explore.

Please Note:

We are currently unaware of any restrictions for dogs on this Trail, and whilst most of our Trails can be enjoyed with dogs, those in towns and cities may be less suitable due to traffic and a lack of open spaces. You may also encounter restricted access to parks etc.

Mini Detective 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.
