About

29th March 2025 - 21st April 2025 10:00 am - 4:30 pm

Step into a world of tradition and play, as we celebrate Easter Adventures at Hardwick!

With 10 activity stations to find, follow the barefoot trail before you leap into lively Maypole dances. Test your skill as you guide your ball safely down the chutes to mirror the age-old thrill of egg rolling. Then, gather around to "Spin a Yarn," to build your own folklore tale.

For the bold and adventurous, our jousting tournament awaits—mount your trusty hobby horse and charge toward victory! Weave your way through the bunting maze and balance your egg in a spoon race, or adorn "Bess," our Flowering Fool, with ribbons and blooms to mark the turning of the seasons. When it’s time for a moment of stillness, gaze at the clouds and reflect on the traditions that have shaped Easter celebrations for centuries. Price:

£3.5 per child (for both members and non-members). A trail must be purchased for each participant to ensure all children will get their chocolate egg at the end.

What’s included?

Trail activities, bunny ears and a chocolate egg. Vegan and free-from chocolate eggs are available. Both eggs are made using Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa. Find out more at www.rainforest-alliance.org.
