Small Talk: What's On - Summer Holidays (part 2)

Here's the second instalment of activities to keep the kids amused this summer. Thanks again to Hannah Lazarus for putting this together.

Every Day – Curious About Ely – self guided walks with optional treasure hunt
Have fun discovering Ely with two self-guided, heritage walks with an optional treasure hunt. Find answers to clues and match pictures whilst reading stories about this fabulous city - you're guaranteed to spot things you've never noticed before. The two walks can be enjoyed separately or joined together to form one longer walk - depending on available time and energy! Walks are suitable for all ages (detours to avoid steps are marked on the route map), and typically take 1-2 hours each to complete. Booklet of two walks available to buy or download from just £3.99 from www.curiousabout.co.uk/ely/index.php
