At The Armitt, we have devised some fun and creative new experiences that will help you to learn more about the history of Ambleside and our collections through game play – mainly cracking puzzles and solving clues. If you’ve played an escape room before, it is a similar style of activity, but we’ve changed the dynamic. Instead of trying to get OUT of a room you’re trying to get IN to a box. Grab your friends, family or colleagues to take part in our brand-new “Escape Box Experiences” and choose from – Beatrix Potter’s Missing Paper and The Bridge House Mystery.
