20 Things to Do on Mother's Day

"Treasure Days sells Treasure Hunts online. Order, and a pdf arrives containing clues for you to download and print out. Choose your preferred location - whether a rural or city hunt, and enjoy a day out with a difference. If dad’s feeling really clever, he could book a Mother’s Day lunch in one of the pubs or restaurants en route, and hand over a gorgeous bunch of flowers (or choccies) at the end of the hunt as mum’s prize!"

Manchester City Centre Treasure Hunt

Reviewed by Colin Rogers

"My daughter and I set off to do this treasure hunt at 11 to arrive in Manchester to have some lunch, then to start off on out venture.

Both of us were very excited, we started on out 1st clue and although it took a while to find the answer we set off to find the next clue. Throughout the hunt we ended up in some really interesting locations which I have never really noticed before. I quite liked the way you had to really look for answers but some were impossible for us to find but it was still good fun to try.

We enjoyed going into the Manchester Cathedral which we have never been into before. My daughter lit a candle for her granddad whilst there. After asking a guide who worked at the cathedral for some help finding a certain clue, he too was unsure of the answer! When we finally found the answer we went back to the guide to tell him and he was shocked that he didn't know.

As it was a cold day and we had been walking around town for a few hours i decided to treat my little girl whose legs were getting a little tired to a nice hot cup of hot chocolate before getting ready to set off on the search for more clues.

Some we found other's we didn't, we got to the end 3 1/2 hours later. I thought some of the clues were a little too hard to find for a child and even though we got to see some great sights it does include a fair bit of walking.

Over all we both enjoyed it and got to see lots of new things and it was wonderful to have the chance to have some daddy daughter time doing something different."

"The Summer Holidays are here! So, to celebrate, I will be posting one fun thing for you to do every day for 50 days, to stop you from getting bored.

Today we will be… Going on a treasure hunt!

Treasure Hunt is a fun and challenging way to do something different and interesting on a great day out with family or friends.

Each pack comes equipped with a set of clues and questions, based on your town along with a Scavenger Hunt list of things to collect and a list of things to spot on route.

The idea is you follow the route all around your town to complete the hunt.

You can play Treasure Hunt as a competition or just use it to make exploring either new or familiar areas more interesting. 

There are over 30 locations around England to choose from – check them out at treasuredays.com."

3 Ways to Entertain the Kids - Treasure Days Hunt

"Child-tested to fight boredom, these downloadable packs (comprising easy to print pdfs) have two levels - junior and adult.  Choose from a wide variety of quirky locations, each filled with myriad interesting sightseeing stops."

From The London Insider, January 2011

"Treasuredays’ hunts offer wonderful little nuggets of history and make for an enjoyable and informative day out. We tested two of the treasure hunt packs from their range, Hampstead and St Paul’s, to find out if they were any good.  ... the clues were well balanced and although we did make a few wrong turns along the way we were able to complete both trails successfully! The great thing about the Treasuredays hunts is that you can go on them in your own time so I’ll be sure to visit Hampstead again perhaps in the spring or summer.  As a Londoner I found it a refreshing way to rediscover the city and I think any tourist or someone new to London will find it equally charming."

"For a day planned by someone else, go to Treasure Days. For £25 you get a treasure hunt in a part of London. Each well-researched hunt lets you see London with fresh eyes. Opt for Hampstead Village and finish in the historic Holly Bush pub, or take the family round the Club and Theatreland hunt, with a detour to Hamleys or the Trocadero. The hunts can be completed within two hours or done at a leisurely pace."
