Families are invited to enjoy a sweet adventure this half term as the Gingerbread Man Trail comes to Market Drayton on Wednesday 27th May.

Starting from 10am at Market Drayton Town Hall, children and adults alike can explore the town while following clues, discovering local landmarks and learning more about the places that make Drayton special.

Known as the Home of Gingerbread, Market Drayton has a proud history linked to the famous sweet treat, and organisers say the trail is a fun way to celebrate the town’s heritage while encouraging families to explore the high street and local attractions.
