With just one week left, several venues have run out of the Rebel Rangers trail packs, suggesting a high take-up of the event organised by Newark & Sherwood District Council. Those that complete the trail are added to a draw to win one of the many prizes available, including a £1,000 Center Parcs voucher.
Rebel Rangers is a quest to travel around six tourist destinations around Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, designed for children aged 5-14. The key aspect is a digital component - a website which allows visitors to submit photos in key locations. Each location shares some history about a "rebel", often a campaigner for liberty. Mayor Claire Ward said, "It's fun, educational, and celebrates the unique history that makes our area so special."
The six locations are spread across the two counties: Rufford Park, Thoresby Park, Creswell Crags, Clumber Park, Bolsover Castle, and Hardwick Hall. Each were given packs by the council to offer for free to those that enquire about them. Each pack includes a Rebel Rangers passport, stickers, colouring sheets, and a pencil. At time of writing (on Sunday), there are only two locations which still have packs available: Bolsover Castle and Thoresby Park.
There is no requirement for the packs. All the information can be found on the Rebel Rangers website.
Many of the locations have entrance fees which must be paid to get to the key location.
The campaign started in February and comes to a close on Sunday, 19th April. Schools across Nottinghamshire are back this week, so this final week will be a quieter week to finish your trail.
