Description
Explore Derby’s Dracula connections with an orienteering map!
Our 4 routes from the Museum take you round historic theatres and haunted pubs. You can run or walk (in optional fancy dress) round the checkpoints, where you’re timed with a special chip.
£5 for individuals or groups (fee is per timing chip and map, rather than per person). If you want, you can then try a second course for free!
Course lengths:
Newcomers (Spiders) ~ 1.5km
Improvers (Rats) ~ 1.7km
Short technical (Bats) ~ 2.5km
Long technical (Wolves) ~ 3.5km
Beginners very welcome, volunteers from Derwent Valley Orienteers will show you how to get started.
Registration is open 12.30pm - 3pm and courses close at 4pm.
Presented as part of Dracula returns to Derby, an AHRC-funded research project led by the University of Derby in partnership with Derby Museums, Derby Theatre, Bournemouth University and Sheffield Hallam University.
