Running from 26th July to 9th August, this free, family-friendly trail invites you to find 30 gingerbread characters hidden in shop windows across Ashbourne. Each one is holding a letter… collect them all, crack the code, and hand in your completed trail map to claim a free gingerbread biscuit, handmade by the wonderful team at Cornerstone Café. No need to book. Just pick up a map from Handmade Design, Cornerstone Café, or Betty’s Sewing Box and start exploring.

The trail is designed for all ages, whether you’re out for a family adventure or simply fancy discovering some of Ashbourne’s brilliant independents. There are 500 biscuits available, given out on a first come, first served basis. One per completed map, while stocks last. Brought to you by All Things Ashbourne, the Gingerbread Trail is a celebration of the town, its businesses, and the little things that make Ashbourne a joy to explore in the summer holidays.
