Great detectives needed!

A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Winchcombe

Residents of Winchcombe were shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of local baker Roland 'Crusty' Rowles, who was found slumped over his bread mixer yesterday. On closer examination of the crime scene, Chief Inspector Iva Nyedeer noticed that Roland's sourdough starter - which had been passed down through the Rowles' generations - had been pinched! Chief Nyedeer needs help from a TOP Detective to crack this case while she conducts further investigations - that's where YOU come in! You'll need to use your loaf to follow the trail of breadcrumbs; can you figure out who cooked up this cruel crime and how? Crumbs - if that's the time you need to get going.

Detective Mystery Through Winchcombe

Get ready for an exciting and immersive detective adventure in the charming town of Winchcombe. The self-guided Treasure Trail will take you through the village centre and some of its most scenic and historic areas, including the Jacobean House, Vineyard Street with its quaint cottages, the curiously adorned yet magnificent St. Peters Church, and the grounds of Sudeley Castle, where you can take in stunning 360 panoramic views before returning to the town.

As you eliminate suspects by solving sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, you'll uncover the truth behind the crime of the missing sourdough starter. Can YOU crack the case and bring justice to Winchcombe?

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.
