Holkham Whodunnit Trail

Step into history and solve the great Holkham mystery!

Join us for an exciting historical whodunnit at Holkham. A real crime took place here in 1772 – money was stolen, but who was behind it and what did they do with it? It’s up to you to crack the case!

Pick up your detective’s activity sheet and search the Walled Garden for hidden clues. Piece them together, follow the evidence and uncover the truth behind this centuries-old mystery. As a reward for your sharp investigative skills, you’ll earn a tasty chocolate coin for helping to bring the culprit to justice.

Make a day of it with a free craft activity and some fun family games, perfect for all ages.

Don’t miss this chance to step back in time and become a detective in one of Holkham’s most intriguing real-life mysteries!

This event takes place in the Walled Garden. It is around a 15-20 minute walk from the main visitor car park and Visitor Reception. Blue badge parking is available at the Walled Garden. There is an accessible toilet at the Walled Garden and mobility scooters are available to hire on a first come, first served basis.
