Barry the Bookworm has been kidnapped, and the Newark Book Festival team have been desperately trying to find him in time for the Castle Family Day on Sunday 14th July.
We need your help to become a detective for the day, follow the trail of clues left with various businesses and venues across Newark and let us know where you think he is. It’s a top-secret detective trail, so gather your most trusted friends and ensure no businesses let slip to each other. We don’t want this news to reach the Bramley Newspaper!
Don’t forget to bring your magnifying glass and notebook.
