Treasure Hunt in Rotherham
Published Tuesday 2nd August 11
Ahoy, me hearties! Little Rotherham pirates are being invited to join in a fun summer holiday treasure hunt.
Shipshape kids are welcome to the tropical island of Greenlands Park in North Anston on Tuesday August 9 between 1pm and 2.30pm.
Follow the map and make your way around the park to search for clues to uncover the pirate treasure.
Captain Donna Morton of the good ship Green Spaces, said: "We're going to be weighing anchor and hoisting the mizzen on this fun, fantastic event, yarrr.
"It's a little know fact that in the 18th century, pirates would bring their treasure ashore then transport it to Greenlands Park and scurry it away from prying eyes. We're going to hornswaggle those pieces o' eight in a fun day of treasure hunting and games.
"This be a family event and young buccaneers must be accompanied by an older salty seadog, such as ye parents. All kids be welcome, but it's especially perfect for young sailors aged six to eleven."
"Meet us by the pavilion in the Park to sign up. Yarrrr."
The event is free, but, booking in advance is essential. For more information and to book a place please call the Green Spaces Unit on 01709 822453
