We've got a mission for you in

Wetherby

The fun-loving town of Wetherby is under threat from the notorious Wetherby Witches. These wicked sisters have always been jealous of the town's joy and happiness, and now they have hatched a plan to ruin all the fun. Armed with a powerful device that can open a wormhole to the past, they plan to go back in time and steal old spells that will put a damper on anyone's spirits. Laughter, smiles, and even smirks are now forbidden, and anyone caught breaking the rules may face a terrible fate. But when their latest trick goes too far, it's up to you to stop them!

More Information:

Please Note:

This Trail explores the historic market town of Wetherby, finishing at the weir. The Trail mainly follows paths, pavements and quiet lanes with a section along a grassy riverside path, which can be muddy, so suitable footwear is recommended.

The Trail starts at Wilderness Car Park (off mini roundabout by river bridge LS22 6RF). If full, follow parking signs from the exit to Hallfield Ln (LS22 6JB). Parking is also available at Crossley Street (LS22 6RT) and the Leisure Centre (LS22 5FN).

The Trail visits Jubilee Gardens which open until 4pm during Winter and 7.30pm in Summer. Also, as part of the Trail follows two riverside paths, these sections may become inaccessible at times of extreme flooding.

There are plenty of opportunities for refreshments in the town as there are some excellent cafes, restaurants and coffee shops. There are public toilets available in The Shambles area, near the market place towards the end of the Trail.

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.
