Montgomery Family Friendly Quiz Trails
Youngsters and families can get active and test their detective skills on the Montgomery family friendly quiz trails throughout the year. Hunt the cars, follow the clues and track down the answers. Have fun in the play park, visit the castle or museums, and have a well-earned cuppa and a treat in one of the town's cafés and hostelries.
Remember to post your prize draw entries in the quiz postbox at the Institute.
There are two family friendly quiz trails: the ‘Town of Little Cars Trail’ is suitable for approximately 4-7 year-olds and the ‘Historic Town Quiz Trail’ for 7-13 year-olds, but both are enjoyable by all ages (grown-ups too!) and an exciting way to find out more about Montgomery.
Quiz sheets are £1.50 each and come with their own Monty Dragon pencil; they can be picked up from...
Montgomery Library
The Dragon Hotel
Castle Kitchen
Ivy House Café and Post Office,
