The Moon Explorer Trail
Become a lunar explorer!
While the Museum of the Moon illuminates Chester Cathedral, young adventurers are invited to embark on a city-wide treasure hunt to discover 12 hidden moons scattered across Chester.
Each secret moon holds a letter waiting to be found. Visit participating businesses and shops throughout the city centre, collect all 12 letters, and unscramble them to reveal the mysterious moon phrase. It's the perfect way to combine a visit to the Cathedral's spectacular Museum of the Moon with an exciting outdoor adventure exploring Chester's vibrant businesses.
Once you've completed your trail, email your answers to hello@chestercathedral.com or hand in your trail sheet at Chester Cathedral or the Visitor Information Centre for your chance to win a family ticket to Picturehouse Cinema.
Trail locations include: Picturehouse Chester, Visitor Information Centre, Louison, Thingummys, Lucy and Yak, Little Yellow Pig, Sick to Death, Jo Jo Maman Bébé, Pars Kahve, Harriet and Dee, The Flower Cup, and Chester Cathedral.
