CHILDREN can grab their magnifying glasses and turn detective with a treasure trail through Dudley town centre.

Problem solving skills will be put to the test as youngsters follow a route that will lead them to discover more about the town’s hidden treasures as they search for clues.

Councillor Khurshid Ahmed, cabinet member for economic development, said: “This is a free activity that parents can enjoy with their children throughout the summer holidays.

"It is a fun way to encourage youngsters to get out and about while also discovering interesting features and historical facts about Dudley.”

The treasure trail is available online at www.discoverdudleyevents.co.uk.

Hard copies are also be available at local libraries, children’s centres, Dudley Council Plus, Dudley Museum and Art Gallery and town centre shops, while stocks last.
