From 5th to 21st April, children are invited to take part in an Easter egg hunt with a difference. There are 25 huge, scaled-up, hand carved and painted wooden eggs hidden in the woodland and the task is to find them all.
An Easter trail of eight boards will take you around the magnificent grounds of the Hall, solving clues and learning about the history of this seasonal celebration while exploring the extensive gardens. We’ll also give you a little pouch of chocolate eggs to start you off setting your own egg hunt, if you’d like to.
