A Summer of Havoc and Hijinks

Inside Story Issue 59

Dennis and his Beanotown pals are bringing time-travel trouble to Hampton Court Palace and Hillsborough Castle and Gardens this summer.

Dennis has turned his go-kart into a time machine – but ‘WHOOPS’! It has gone haywire scattering pieces across the royal palaces and gardens. Now history’s in a muddle – and they need YOU to fix it!

This special feature, just for members, is packed with puzzles  and comic-style challenges to get your young mischief-makers ready for a blamtastic summer adventure at the palaces.

Why is early history called the Dark Ages? Because there were so many knights!
