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.

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Somerton

The Somerton Dramatic Society is in a state of shock. During a recent performance of "Death on the Somerset Slow Train", a terrible accident occurred - the prop weapon was replaced with the real thing! The show's pretentious lead actor, Ivan Egoe, met his end in a tragic twist. Now, the local police have received an anonymous letter listing a number of suspects, and forensics have gathered some potential evidence. But who is really to blame for this terrible deed? Could it be the leading lady? The understudy? The long-suffering agent? It's up to you, the best detectives around, to follow the clues and catch the crook so that the show can go on!

The Show Must Go On! But Can YOU Solve the Mystery?

If you're looking for a fun day out with family and friends in Somerton, then look no further! Embark on this self-guided detective mystery themed Treasure Trail and put your detective skills to the test. Follow the Trail route and see if you can solve the sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to eliminate suspects and discover whodunit.

Starting centrally at the Library, this delightful village Trail will take you through the old market place where you'll find a lovely Buttercross that is floodlit at night. As you make your way through the village, keep an eye out for the old Town Hall, alms houses, and the old courthouse. Who knows what secrets they may hold?

The Somerton Dramatic Society needs you… Can YOU crack the clues and solve the mystery?
