What is a Pride of Yorkshire Quest?

Pride of Yorkshire Quests are mini games found within the Pride of Yorkshire Interactive Trail site!

You might have noticed some Pride of Yorkshire sculptures say ‘Part of x pride’ when you play on the Interactive Trail Site… but what does it mean?

Pride of Yorkshire Quests are mini games found within the Pride of Yorkshire Interactive Trail Site.

Each of these collections features sculptures that fit within a specific theme, and offer the additional challenge of completing them all. You can find details of each Pride Quest below:
