Children's Trail - for every child, big or small!

We're very proud that our Children's Trail has been chosen as a top family day out - click here to find out more. The trail is aimed at children aged between 5 and 12, the trail guides you around the city, where through a series of questions tour goers (and their mums, dads, carers, big sisters etc) get to find out fun and interesting facts about the city. From burnings at the stake, to Civil Wars shootings, your tour guide - Mr Minster Duck - will reveal amazing facts you'll be able to stun your teachers, friends and parents with. At the end of the tour, children who answer all the questions correctly get to claim a prize!
