Summer can be very exciting for Amber the Mother Fox, especially with 9 little fox cubs to take care of and this year is no exception!

Amber loves bringing the whole family to Penshurst Place for a day full of fun and adventure, but this visit is a little different to what she is used to. The fox cubs have agreed it's about time they treat their mum to something special as a thank you for all that she does. With the help of their fluttery butterfly friends the cubs have come up with a Pamper Hamper for Mother Fox!

To make it interesting, they have decided to create a treasure hunt for Amber around the Gardens at Penshurst. 

Mother Fox needs your help to solve the riddles and find the final item the cubs have missed off their shopping list!
