Where are those wandering wolves? Join us at Little Moreton Hall on this free spotter activity, and help us locate the missing wolves. How many will you discover when you visit?

See if you can spot the Moreton family crest on your wander around the hall. The crest shows a wolf as they were a symbol of valour and guardianship. Some of the mischievous wolves have thrown on disguises and escaped the crests and cleverly hidden themselves away. See how many wolves you can spot when you explore Little Moreton Hall….
