Pop into Mottistone Gardens this spring for a red squirrel-themed Easter adventure. You’ll find a garden covered in spring bulbs, and glorious sea views. Kids will love the 1930s ‘Shack’, the Wild Woods, and the butterfly wings selfie station. Normal admission plus £3 per trail. Includes a chocolate or vegan and free from Rainforest Alliance Easter egg.
Each day 25 March - 14 April, 10.30am-5pm. Help 'Red' the squirrel discover the 'Signs of Spring' that are popping up across the gardens, as she gets ready to wake her hibernating friends this Easter. Along the trail, little visitors will be able to complete ten activities - try leaping like a frog on tree rings and build a nest in the willow maze - and collect a 'Sign of Spring' stamp at each point. Finally, join the silent disco within the cascading branches of a lime tree, where Red will celebrate spring's arrival with her newly awakened hibernating friends.
