Join us for a members-only scavenger hunt through the rooms and corridors of Rippon Lea Mansion. Young detectives, accompanied by a supervising adult, will search for hidden clues, uncover secrets, and solve mysteries.
As you explore the rooms, corridors and collections, you’ll discover what life was like for the families and staff who lived here from the 1860s and beyond. Keep your eyes sharp — you never know what you might find hiding in the shadows!
The hunt will take around 30 minutes to complete, and families are welcome to remain afterwards to chat with our guides and learn even more about the mansion’s fascinating past.
