Have you taken part in our Easter trail yet? Why not call into Mapplewell Library and pick up a trail sheet this Easter weekend. It's free to take part and everyone completing a correct trail sheet receives a small treat.
You might want to pay attention to the photo displaying Clue 2 - unfortunately this marker has gone missing from our first location. We are in the process of having this replaced.
