You only need two or three people working together to make a trail. The newly introduced Neighbourhood Trail could be a particularly attractive one to begin with.

Making a Trail of Discovery is a rewarding experience and there is help available from a network of Area Representatives.

There is a dedicated microsite which has templates and completed trails to view once your trail has been registered.

To start a trail firstly obtain agreement from your society and the place of interest and then complete a registration form available on The Arts Society website theartssociety.org

Church trails - up to fourteen questions for children aged 8-12, with an answer sheet for accompanying adults which also gives further information.

Neighbourhood trails – a walking trail around a local area. Not a question and answer trail, but a trail looking at local history, architecture and other features to be found in the area.

Trails in other places of worship, historic buildings and towns or villages.

Memory trails - a trail providing an activity for people living with dementia, with words provided by Healthcare Professionals. These trails are designed to evoke memories and prompt conversation with family and/or carers. The trail also encourages sensory activity through touch and smell.

Bespoke trails - for school or organisations working with children and young people with special needs. Created with help from teachers and specialist staff so that the trail can take into account the capability of trail users.
