Pigeon Post Christmas Trail
FREE Pigeon Post Christmas Trail
Pip and Parkin, the messenger pigeons, have been busy delivering Christmas cards across Buxton. But they have lost some post in the Pump Room. Can you help them find the nine missing envelopes. And who in Buxton are they addressed to? Suitable for children age 5 and above. Younger children may need adult help. Every child who completes the trail will receive a small prize.
FUN FACT!
The two domes you can see in this illustration of the original Pump Room were removed because they were too expensive to maintain!
The trail in the Pump Room is free and drop in, but to book your tour of the Buxton Crescent Visitor Experience, please click below…
