Easter Trail – The Hatchling

Saturday, April 5, 2025 

to Monday, April 21, 2025

It was dawn as the first noises were heard.

A tap tap tap echoing throughout the empty museum.
The early birds outside were starting to sing and as one flew up to the museum window it was met with a very strange sight, an egg unlike any it had seen before, was cracking open.

The bird turned and flew away to tell its friends but when it returned just a fragment of eggshell remained… It had just missed seeing a strange creature, The Hatchling of Salisbury Museum, struggle to its feet and wander off, calling for its family.

The Hatchling is on a quest to find its family.

I wonder what kind of creature The Hatchling is.

Can you follow the clues to see where it has been and help discover who its family could be?
