The Missing Bank Manager - A Detective Mystery Adventure in Shaftesbury

A few weeks ago, the small town of Shaftesbury was thrown into chaos when the local bank manager, Mr Bing, retired and was replaced by the unpleasant and arrogant Mr Ascutty. His bullying tactics quickly alienated the town's businesses and bank staff, leaving very few who were sad to see him go. But when Mr Ascutty was found slumped in the bank vault with banknotes stuffed in his mouth, the town was suddenly filled with suspects and potential motives. Now, it's up to YOU to follow the trail of evidence and uncover the truth!

Investigate the Detective Mystery in the Heart of Blackmore Vale

Are you ready for an exciting adventure with family and friends? Look no further than the self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail through Shaftesbury. As you follow the Trail route, keep your eyes peeled for sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments. Can YOU eliminate the suspects and solve the mystery of who did it?

The circular Trail starts at the pay & display car park by the Tourist Information Centre, located in the heart of the Blackmore Vale. This picturesque town is also famous for the iconic Hovis bread advert featuring a boy riding a bicycle down Gold Hill.

DCI Hugh Dunnit is counting on you to lend a hand in this investigation. Good luck!
