We've got a mission for you in

Tutbury

The infamous Queen of Scots, Mary, was known for her exquisite embroidery skills and spent much of her time in captivity with needle and thread. But there's more to her story than meets the eye - some say her needlework contained secret messages that have been kept hidden from the public. Now, we've received intel that a secret society of enemy operatives has stolen her needlework and plans to reveal the messages! It's up to our top Agents to recover the stolen items and keep the secrets secure. But beware - the enemy spies will stop at nothing to thwart your mission!

More Information:

Please Note:

This first part of this Trail follows a route that passes through fields and it is highly probable that you will encounter livestock. Please make sure that if you are taking your dog, you have a lead with you to keep them under control should this be the case. Please also be aware that the fields at times can get very muddy, particularly after sustained periods of heavy rain!

Along the route you will also encounter a fairly steep climb up the hill from the river, so please bear this in mind if walking the Trail with smaller children.

Also, during this mission, you will not only be sneaking across the previously mentioned fields but also across a narrow sluice gate; which can potentially be slippery when wet, so be prepared and wear appropriate footwear.

Mini Secret Agent 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.
