Discovery map trails
We work closely with learning teams to create illustrated activity trails for children and families looking to explore and engage
with museum collections, heritage sites and visitor attractions.
• Bold designs, inspiring text and family-friendly illustrations bring stories of the past to life
• Interactive picture maps take families on a pathway of discovery through museum galleries and around outdoor sites
• Trails feature an exciting mix of activities to make finding out fun
• Imaginative, folded-paper formats for professional printing, self-printing or digital download
• Meaningful trail rewards including: character stickers, badges, souvenir postcards, colouring papercraft sheets
• We are happy to work with clients both near and far!

People and Places of St Albans' Past St Albans Museums
"Working with Jane and Steph from Blackbird Publishing has been a wonderful experience. They are not simply designers and illustrators fulfilling our brief; they consistently bring their creativity and generosity to the table, sharing their thoughts and ideas honestly and constructively. This has ensured we have created new resources together that are meticulously detailed and truely thoughtful. Together we have entirely revamped and reworked our trails for schools and families at both museums in St Albans; in one case securing sponsorship thanks to the high calibre of the illustrations and copy writing. Long may our professional relationship and friendship continue!"
