Chevening Treasure Hunt

The UK is home to stunning natural landscapes, wonderful architecture, and world-renowned landmarks. We’re challenging you to work out the answers to the A-Z clues below and share evidence of you finding the treasure behind each letter.

The challenge:

1. Work with your fellow Cheveners to find each treasure hunt item.
2. Take creative and fun pictures to show you have found the treasure behind the letter. Consider bringing along your Chevening Charlie bear to share in your photo!
3. Post the evidence on social media, using the hashtag #CheveningCharlie and tagging @CheveningFCDO in your post.
4. We’ll keep a look out for your images and share our favourites on our own centralised channels!

These are designed to be fun challenges, so the Chevening Secretariat cannot help you in finding any item on the list. If you’re stuck on a letter, reach out to your fellow Cheveners.

You may want to print off the treasure hunt list below, and mark off any treasure you have uncovered throughout the year. Can you capture them all?

Good luck!
