Partnership (SCRP) will be running a free* Treasure Hunt on a Train on the North Downs Railway Line between Saturday 23 July and Sunday 4 September 2022.

The North Downs Railway Line runs between Reading, via Guildford, to Redhill.

Solve one, or both, of the mysteries to be in with the chance to win some treasure of your own! Suitable for families with children aged 7 upwards.

Maddy Mills, Education Officer at the SCRP, said: “We are excited to be offering our first ever Treasure Hunt on a Train. Good luck hunting for the answers!”
