In medieval Carmarthenshire, if you were feeling unwell you might have turned to the famous Physicians of Myddfai. Using herbs, flowers and other natural remedies, these skilled healers created potions to treat the sick. Inspired by their knowledge, the museum has devised its own magical mixtures – but in our feverish state, we’ve lost some of the vital ingredients.
Follow the Potion Trail around the museum, solve the clues and find the hidden herbs and objects needed to complete the recipes. With your help, the potions will be restored, the sickness banished, and you’ll earn a well-deserved prize for your efforts.
The Potion Trail is £2.50 per trail and fun for all ages. It’s a perfect family activity during the half-term holidays. Running daily from Saturday 25 October to Sunday 2 November at Carmarthenshire Museum.
