About

Join us from 28th March to 12th April to take part in our exciting Easter trail!

Your space mission was going perfectly... until your ship jolted, the lights flickered, and every screen went dark. The navigation system has scrambled, the communicator is silent, and you're drifting through unknown space.

Luckily, the ship's emergency system has activated a series of clues scattered around your surroundings. Each clue reveals a tiny piece of information about where you are and how to get home but only if you decode them in the right order.

Follow the trail to uncover each hidden message. Solve all the clues to rebuild your navigation path, restore communication, and guide your ship safely back to Earth.

Your mission starts now... good luck, Commander.

The trail is suitable for children aged 7+ and is included in the cost of your admission.
