About the event
Hop into Easter and join us for a cracking adventure around our 42-acre museum! Come and join us for our special FREE Easter Trail, searching for hidden eggs along the way. Each egg holds a letter, collect them all to reveal a mystery word.
Once the puzzle is solved, little trail-goers can pick up a well-earned Easter egg treat at Reception. It’s the perfect way to spend Easter Sunday together.
Alongside the trail, you can enjoy free drop in crafts, horse keeper talks, interactive living history performances.
Free trail but booking is essential (for children only).
Make sure to pick up your trail map from Reception before 2pm.
Please click on the link under Further Information for more details and online booking.
