NEWS FROM THE GROUPS

Try our Treasure Trails & Walks with 6 different walks TT1 to TT6

Some of our 2023 participants comments:

"I have followed the previous treasure hunts and the walk which allowed me to gain familiarity and knowledge of Chester since moving to the area a couple of years ago. I also joined the zoom presentation given by Sam Chadwick which gave an excellent insight into the siege and its effect on the City. I undertook previous treasure hunts/walks with my grandsons and it was great fun spotting the items in the pictures, which I repeated with them once I had got the answer sheets"

"Thanks so much for organising the treasure hunt. We tried it with our family on Friday and enjoyed looking at familiar places with new eyes"

"What a wonderful piece of work. Instructions very clear and information extremely interesting. I love local history and this will be very useful when my grandchildren come to visit and want to learn about Chester. Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to do it all in one go (struggling with mobility now in my 80's but will have a go"

"Set the grandchildren the Siege of Chester challenge. They enjoyed, so more of the same please"
