With the famous intelligence centre GCHQ just a few miles down the road, Sudeley Castle has designed a brand-new spy themed activity for February Half Term visitors.

Running daily from Saturday 15th to Sunday 23rd February, ‘Sudeley Spies’ is a trail of clues, codes and riddles hidden throughout the castle rooms.

On arrival at the visitor centre, children can pick up a discovery sheet and while exploring the castle, use the items they find along the way to try to decode seven specially designed clues.

Each clue is different, and include codes written in Hieroglyphics, Morse Code, Nautical Flags and more. As soon as children have solved each clue, the answers will spell out a secret password, which can be used back at the visitor centre to receive a small surprise.

Kim Gibbon, Head of Visitor Services, said: “February Half Term is the first school holiday of the year and Sudeley Spies is a family friendly way to engage children and young people with a problem-solving day out, plus lots of outdoor space to explore.

“Our new February mystery trail is also a great way to explore the castle brimming with history, intrigue and of course lots of fun.”
