There is a small treat for each participating child, which can be collected from any of the 20 town centre participating retailers.
The free Harrogate Mumbler Summer Water Trail is live right now and will run throughout the summer holidays until Sunday, September 5.
Families can download their own answer sheets from the Harrogate Mumbler website here, they can pick one up from any of the participating retailers or collect one from the Harrogate BID stand in the Victoria Shopping Centre.

Hide AdHarrogate Mumbler's Sally Haslewood said: “2021 has been tough for everyone: families have been stuck indoors, many people have job insecurity and our town centres need help to bounce back.
"Harrogate Mumbler wanted to do a little something to help with all of this and we are delighted that the Harrogate BID have supported us and helped make this free Summer trail a reality."
The Water Trail has two different challenges for families to enjoy; firstly finding the 20 water themed pictures and secondly answering the 20 Harrogate trivia questions.
For younger children the picture trail is designed to be a fantastic way to keep busy.
There are four water trail routes:
1) Water Sports (Located in the West Park Quarter)

We love our town and have made Harrogate the star of this trail!
