Taking place on Saturday 8th August, from 12pm until 5pm, Hidden in Plain Sight is a free, family-friendly event that encourages everyone to slow down, look up and uncover the rich history that surrounds us.
The self-guided trail takes around 45 to 60 minutes to complete and leads participants to some of Enfield Town’s most interesting landmarks, historic buildings and hidden details that many people pass every day without a second glance.
Along the way, there will be interactive activities including Lost and Found Bingo, “look closer” clues and historical hints, making it a fun experience for both children and adults. Those who complete the trail will even receive a small prize at the finish.
Maps can be collected from The Enfield Society’s gazebo in Palace Gardens, located between Marks & Spencer and Pearsons, anytime between 12pm and 5pm.
The event has been organised by the Enfield Town Action Team as part of the celebrations marking 90 years of The Enfield Society, helping people connect with the town’s heritage while encouraging exploration of the town centre and supporting local businesses.
Whether you’ve lived in Enfield all your life or have only recently discovered the area, this is a wonderful opportunity to see familiar streets from a completely different perspective.
So why not spend an hour discovering the stories that have been hidden in plain sight? You may be surprised by just how much history is right in front of you.
