Mayo town’s festive treasure hunt returns for Countdown to Christmas
Free family event will send Christmas adventurers around Ballina solving clues next week
Mayo families are being invited to put their puzzle-solving skills to the test as the Clarke Museum of Irish History brings its festive treasure hunt back to Ballina on Sunday, November 22.
The event forms part of the museum’s Countdown to Christmas celebrations and promises an afternoon of family fun, with participants following a trail of clues hidden around the town.
The treasure hunt will begin at 2pm in the courtyard of the Clarke Museum, where participants can collect their maps from the Christmas Trail Setter before setting off on their festive adventure.
Families will then make their way around Ballina, solving riddles and searching for clues along the route. Completed answers must be returned to the museum by 4pm, when the solutions will be revealed.
Organisers are encouraging families, children and Christmas enthusiasts of all ages to take part, whether they are experienced puzzle-solvers or little elves in training.
Admission is free, and the event offers an opportunity to enjoy some traditional festive fun while discovering Ballina town.
The museum is inviting everyone to join the adventure and see if they can beat Ballina’s best riddle master by solving all the clues.
