Can YOU Pull The Rabbit Out Of The Hat?

Long ago, a famous local brewery mistakenly created a strange blend that turned anyone it touched into a fluffy white rabbit! Wanting to keep everyone safe, they sewed the recipe into the lining of a Stockport hat and locked it away in the local air-raid shelter protected by a secret code. But evil genius Bowlerfelt has discovered the code and, with his band of agents The Mad Hatters, is threatening to unleash the potion on the town. It's a hare-raising prospect that's a real head-scratcher for HQ, so they need YOU, our best super spies, to pull the rabbit out of the hat, crack the code and get there first. Clues scattered around Stockport will reveal the secret code, so hop to it and save everyone from their fur-filled fate!

Spy Mission Through Stockport - Historic Hatting Town

Here's to a new kind of adventure!

Your self-guided mission takes you around a town once famous for its hatting industry - ever wonder why the football team is called The Hatters? You'll see the local landmarks, a renowned brewery, and find out incredible stories from the past.

But let's not get a-head of ourselves…

Locked away in a local air-raid shelter, sewn into the lining of a Stockport hat, is a recipe for a strange brew - a blend that turns anyone it touches into a fluffy white rabbit! Hidden away for safety, its existence has been discovered by evil genius Bowlerfelt and his agents, The Mad Hatters. They've threatened to break into the shelter and unleash the strange potion on the town. Can you follow the clues and crack the code to move the hat to safety? We're in for a fur-filled fate if they get their hands on it first!

What is a Treasure Trail?

Before You Set Off

Before you set off on your awesome adventure, there are a few things you need to know...

Unfortunately, the route is not friendly for wheelchair users and pushchairs due to some steps and steep sections at a number of places around the Trail.

Bring your four-legged friends along! Please note that it is a busy town centre, so dogs will need to be kept on leads.

The closest long stay pay and display car park to the Trail start point is at Churchgate (SK1 2LX), just a minute walk away.

There are some fantastic events in Stockport's calendar, all of which are great times to visit this beautiful town. However, you may find that some of the clues on this Trail may become obstructed or difficult to access on these occasions. If you would like further information about event dates, please contact Stockport Tourist Information.

There are public toilets available towards Clue 10, and the route passes several pubs and a few cafes along the way.

Why not make a day of it and take a peek inside Stockport's Air Raid Shelters, or learn more twisting tales of the towns hatting past at the Hat Works Museum.
