The Hunt for the Jewel of Prosperity - Can YOU Find Sir Bevois's Treasure?

For centuries, the tales of the legendary knight, Sir Bevois, have captivated the minds of storytellers across Europe. But amongst the many stories of his heroic deeds, one legend has remained a mystery-did Sir Bevois truly found the city of Southampton during his travels?

Thanks to historian Indy Past, this mystery may finally be solved. After uncovering a set of clues and a map pointing to an ancient relic, the Jewel of Prosperity, buried beneath Southampton, Indy has tasked the Exploration Society with retrieving the treasure. But only the best treasure seekers will be able to crack the clues and find the precious artefact.

The Lost Legend of Sir Bevois - A Family Adventure Through Southampton's Inner City and Gardens

Calling all families and adventurers! Embark on an immersive and family-friendly treasure hunt through the tranquil gardens of Southampton. As you follow the Trail route, you'll discover sneaky clues hidden in existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments, all while exploring the historic and scenic inner city gardens laden with history.

The adventure begins at the Bargate, where Sir Bevois himself is said to have entered the city. From there, you'll journey through the quiet and peaceful parts of Southampton, passing by wonderful fountains, rose gardens, sculptures, and statues.

The Jewel of Prosperity awaits… Will YOU be the one to crack the clues and find Sir Bevois's treasure?
