A mysterious carrot thief has struck, leaving behind a trail of clues and a challenge for families to solve before the culprit escapes.
Visitors are being invited to step into the role of detective as part of a special Easter trail at Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, where missing carrots have sparked an interactive hunt through the galleries.
Running from Friday, April 3 to Saturday, April 18, the trail encourages children and their families to search for clues hidden around the museum in a bid to unmask the thief.
Kate, learning officer at the museum, said: “This is a fun, relaxed activity that families can enjoy at their own pace.
“Children love playing detective while exploring our galleries, and there are plenty of other Easter activities to discover along the way.”
Alongside the trail, visitors can take part in a range of themed activities including colouring and collage stations, as well as exploring carrot recipes in the museum’s nostalgic kitchen.
The Tivvy Bumper steam engine will also feature a special Easter makeover as part of the celebrations.
Additional sessions will take place on Tuesday, April 7 and Tuesday, April 14 between 10.30am and 12.30pm, where children can drop in to create rabbit finger puppets to take home. No booking is required.
The museum will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm throughout the Easter holidays, including Good Friday.
Admission costs £9.50 for adults, while accompanied children can enter free. Visitors can book in advance at www.tivertonmuseum.org.uk/event/easter-fun-at-the-museum-2 or attend on the day.
Craft sessions are priced at £3 per child with a paying adult, or £2.50 for museum members.
