An Easter trail for older children and grown ups. The Newcastle family are enjoying a relaxing holiday in their villa in the south of France and the staff have been left behind to look after the Estate. But things have started to go missing from the house and gardens. It was only a loaf of bread or a carrot or two to begin with but now a whole stuffed goose has gone missing. The staff are all blaming each other and we’ve assembled them in the Parsonage. Follow the trail, solve the riddles to collect the clues and head back to the Parsonage to arrest the guilty party and claim your Easter reward.
