About us
History Trails, Murder Mysteries, Treasure Hunts, Meals Out, Dancing, and Great Fun!
Welcome to Mini Adventures & Trails for The Young at Heart, a friendly and inclusive group where we bring people together through shared activities. We organise a wide variety of events to inspire, connect, and uplift. Whether it’s solving Murder Mystery History Trails, enjoying scenic walks, hunting for clues on Treasure Hunts, dining out, dancing, camping, or exploring fascinating places of interest such as historic sites and local landmarks, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Our group is centred around improving mental health and well-being. We understand the importance of feeling connected and supported, and we’re committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone is made to feel valued. We proudly support the mental health charity Mind, with donations from our events helping to fund their vital work.
It’s completely free to join us! Some events may ask for small, voluntary contributions to help cover costs like materials or planning, with any surplus funds going directly to Mind to support their cause.
This is more than just a social group—it’s a community where you can make new friends, enjoy meaningful experiences, and improve your well-being while having fun. Together, we’ll create unforgettable memories, build genuine connections, and celebrate the joy of being part of something special.
Join Mini Adventures & Trails for The Young at Heart today, and discover a world of friendship, laughter, and adventure. Everyone is welcome—we can’t wait to meet you!

On a Storyteller's Night
Join us for an evening exploring the stories that don’t always make it into the history books. We’ll be delving into murders, hauntings, local gossip, unexplained events and fascinating gaps in the historical record, with stories connected to Harrogate and the surrounding area.Some stories are drawn from historical records and research. Others have been passed down through families or remembered locally.
This is a relaxed evening of storytelling where you can simply sit back and listen, enjoy a drink from the bar, or even share a story of your own if you dare!
We’ll also be bringing back a few familiar faces from the past as we uncover some of the more colourful characters and events from our local history.
So bring a story, or just come and listen. No pressure - just a warm, friendly night where the past comes alive with a laugh and a raised eyebrow. Your stories should be from Harrogate and the surrounding areas.
There will be a bar before the event starts and at the interval.
