Treasure Island: School Holidays at Fernhill Estate

Inspired by Robert Louis Stevenson's classic adventure, children will set off across Fernhill Estate in search of hidden clues, secret places and long-lost treasure.

Normally closed to the public, the historic estate becomes their very own Treasure Island for the day. Following a treasure map, children will explore the gardens, wander the grounds around the old mansion and search for clues hidden throughout the estate.

Along the way, they will learn simple navigation skills, solve puzzles and work together to uncover the next clue. Some are easy, while others take teamwork, observation and a little persistence. Every discovery brings them one step closer to the treasure.

The day finishes around the campfire at the Hayshed, where children will learn the basics of safe fire lighting before creating their own treasure map to take home.

Who knows... perhaps the old mansion still has a few secrets left to reveal.

This program is suitable for children aged 5 to 12 years.
