A recent survey of Mystery Trail participants has shown that discovering and exploring new places and shopping at local businesses in the District’s market towns has been a major appeal to them as they have completed the trails.
With the Christmas holidays now upon us, the Mystery Trails are a great, free activity to take part in over the festive period and discover all there is on offer in our market towns and local businesses, and do that all-important Christmas gift shopping along the way.

The individual trails are free to complete in Billingshurst, Henfield, Horsham, Pulborough, Southwater, Storrington and Steyning.
Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for the Local Economy, Jonathan Chowen said: “I really hope that lots of people will visit our market towns and take part in the trails over the Christmas holidays, alongside their festive meals and gift shopping.”
