Set out on Chaucer's pilgrimage at the Canterbury Tales and seek out a number of hidden items which would be used by modern day Pilgrims. There are 10 to collect ranging from OS map to a Mars Bar, all modern day tools and accessories the 21st century pilgrim would use if making a similar journey. All those who successfully find ten will enter a raffle for a star prize which includes tickets to a whole host of other tourist attractions - so the winner can take part in their very own mini pilgrimage around Kent!
Craftsmen and women will demonstrate a range of medieval skills including pottery, bow making and calligraphy with the chance to have a go and make that special purchase. Final judging of ‘The Face of The Canterbury Tales’ will take place on market day.
