Welcome to In Search of Christmas!

This is our trail and activities for Primary School age children Y1 and above. The trail runs alongside the Nativity Trail and there are some additional activities. If you’ve picked up a goodie bag you will have seen these already. If you don’t have a goodie bag, all the activities can be downloaded here and you can still join with us!

Instructions for completing the trail:

  1. Find the introduction poster and QR code outside the church hall, on the notice board by the green or at either end of Vicarage Road.

  2. Scan the QR code to see the video that sets off the adventure.

  3. Head over to Vicarage Road and join the Nativity trail to find 9 characters in 8 Windows and tick them off over the page.

  4. At 3 houses you will find the QR codes to help you solve the code to give access to the final video that answers the question!

  5. If your mobile data allows, watch the videos while doing the trail. If not, save the links to watch at home.


If you have had any problems with the QR codes or data you can access the videos here:
