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.

Top secret!

We've got a mission for you in

Tarrants

It's the eve of the annual Steam Fair, and that evil Professor Killjoy is at it again! He's invented a machine that will turn all musical sounds into a high-pitched squeal, thus ruining the highlight of the year in the Tarrant villages. It's a weapon of brass destruction! But fear not, brave adventurers, for you have been called upon to stop him.

The Professor has left clues scattered around the village, like notes on a score, that will reveal the secret deactivation code. HQ's attempts have fallen flat, and it's time for the top brass to face the music. They need YOU super agents to solve the clues and discover the code that will stop the evil Professor. And if you succeed, you may just win a prize and blow your own trumpet, making the Professor seriously brassed off!

Spy Mission Through the Tarrants Villages

Embark on a thrilling self-guided spy mission as you explore the eight Dorset Tarrant villages. As you follow the Trail route, you'll encounter sneaky clues hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, just like a true secret agent.

Discover the Tarrant Rushton Airfield, used during World War II and the resting place of Sir Allan Cobham, the inventor of in-flight refuelling. And don't miss out on Tarrant Hinton, home to one of the world's biggest steam fairs, held every August for over 40 years.

Are YOU ready to take on the challenge and save the Tarrant villages from the tyrant's plot?
