The Shifnal Discovery Trail launches on July 20, and tells the tale of how the Shropshire town was the location for the historic theft by William Allen – a town bank manager.
"When police arrived to arrest him at the bank in Horse Fair – where Market Place today meets Park Street, Allen is said to have leapt over the bank counter and fled.The trail will see budding detectives asked to find a series of clues hidden around Shifnal, which when solved will reveal the code to unlock an overseas safe.
Beth Heath, from Shropshire Festivals, said: “If you enjoy escape room style experiences, then you will love the Shifnal Discovery Trail."You will get to spend the day outdoors as a family or group of friends, solving clues together, finding out some fascinating history and discovering more of Shifnal.
