Get into the festive spirit with our special Christmas Xplorer Trail. Santa, Rudolph and many more, much loved Christmas characters have been spotted in the Moss Bank Park and we need you to help track them all down. Using their map children will find be able to find all our characters before earning themselves a certificate and sticker as well as a warming cup of hot chocolate. So join us for a Christmas outdoor adventure not to be missed!

Our Christmas Xplorer Trail is perfect for families with children 8 years or under. It provides an opportunity to take part in the Christmas festivities safely and to explore the natural beauty of Moss Bank Park through a fun outdoor challenge. Tickets cost just £3.00 per pack.

This activity will take place across Moss Bank Park, with themed markers being located throughout its fantastic open spaces. On average people take around 30-45 minutes to complete the walk but you can always take advantage of the picnic benches or large outdoor play area if your little ones need a break. Some markers are off the path and so depending on the weather, we would recommend wellies although they are not essential. 

We ask that you please bring your own pen to note down the answers as you go along and also a face mask (which you will need if you need to use the toilet facilities in the café). Our Café will be open offering hot and cold drinks and snacks to take away basis. Any four legged friends are welcome to join families on their quests.

This event is brought to you in association with the British Orienteering association. All proceeds from the activity go towards the charitable work of the Lancashire Wildlife Trust.
