A mystery is waiting to be solved in

Richmond

Drumsticks were twitching with eager anticipation at the annual dinner of the Drummer Band in Richmond. It was the night they would announce the new head drummer, and all eyes were on outgoing leader Betty 'Bongo' Beats. But just as she was about to make the big reveal, the lights suddenly went out, and chaos ensued!

Cymbals crashed, tom-toms tumbled, snares snapped, hi-hats were hurled, and bass drums went a-rollin'! When the lights came back up, poor Tim Panny, the crowd favourite for the top job, was completely out of rhythm. In the press conference held by Detective Chief Inspector Per Cushion, it was revealed that the motive behind the mayhem was clear. But who had the nerve to sabotage Tim's chances in this brush with the law? It's up to YOU to hit the streets and help crack this case!

Treasure Hunt Through Richmond and Easby Abbey

Are you looking for a fun day out with family and friends or a fun adventure to enjoy with the kids in Richmond? Look no further than this self-guided Treasure Trail. As you follow the Trail route, you'll be tasked with solving sneaky clues set on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments to eliminate the suspects and discover the culprit behind the chaos.

The Trail begins at The Green in Richmond, taking you on a scenic riverside path alongside the River Swale to the stunning ruins of Easby Abbey. From there, you'll return on the opposite side of the river along the old disused railway line before finishing at The Station in Richmond.

More Information:

Please Note:

There are three Clues in Easby Abbey towards the end of the Trail. The abbey is free to enter and open daily from 10am to 4pm, except 24th, 25th and 26th December and 1st January, when the gate is locked. It is still possible to complete the rest of the Trail on these 4 days by making use of the SMS 'stuck on a clue' helpline.

Richmond Live Festival - please note that the Richmond Live Festival takes place once a year, usually on the last weekend of July or the first weekend of August. Please check https://www.richmondlive.org/ for festival dates. When the festival is on, part of the riverside path and one Clue is inaccessible. It is possible to detour via town around this part of the Trail using a smartphone map or local map. The route follows lanes and riverside footpaths which can get quite muddy in parts if there's been a lot of recent rain, so suitable footwear is recommended. The ground underfoot, especially in the abbey grounds, is uneven. This, and the rural paths, gates and one style make the Trail unsuitable for pushchair and wheelchair users.

Toilets and a refreshment kiosk (seasonal) can be found by Clue 07 on the Trail. There are also toilets and refreshments at The Station, which you can pop across the river to before Clue 08 or explore at the end of the Trail.

For picnic stops, the riverside by the waterfall or in Easby Abbey itself are the most scenic spots.

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.
