For Black History Month this October, More Curricular is hosting a fun and educational Black History Quest where you must solve riddles and clues on the trail of a thief. You'll get stuck into challenges with clues, riddles, puzzles, pictures, and maps, uncovering hidden stories about Black history.
The event starts at St Mary Aldermanbury Garden, where you'll learn about the first Black person recorded living in the City of London and the little-known Black Prince who spent two years there. You'll also discover the origins of enslavement, the individuals involved, and tales of resistance from abolitionists, including the woman who voted to boycott sugar from the West Indies.
The quest finishes up at the Guild of Cane monument, allowing you to reflect on the past. Join solo or pop with friends and family in a group, with a prize for the first team to complete the quest.
