Easter egg hunts at Upton House and Gardens

Children playing in a spring garden

With spring in full swing, there's still time to grab your shoes, get outdoors and join us for our 2021 Easter adventures in nature trails as we've extended them until May. It is advisable to book tickets in advance, although on quieter days and times, we may have space available.

Easter adventures in nature, available until early May (whilst stocks last), 10am – 5pm (last entry at 4.30pm).

Spring into nature at Upton House with added Easter fun. Collect your trail pack, activity sheet and pencil from the Pavilion Café or Visitor Reception and follow the map to discover 10 activity stations where the whole family can join in with some nature-based play. After enjoying the spring gardens and venturing through the woodland walk, there will be a chocolate egg reward (or alternative option) to claim as your prize.

Event charge per trail £3 plus normal admission. Before visiting, please check local and national government guidance on travelling

Book your visit 

You don’t need to book your Easter trails, but it is advised to book tickets in advance here. To manage visitor numbers so that social distancing can be ensured for the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors, the pre-booking system still applies. Booking will provide access to the property, not the Easter adventures in nature trail, which can be purchased on the day. Tickets are released every Friday. 

Changing your booking

If your plans change and you can’t make your timeslot, you can easily change or cancel your booking. We really appreciate you doing this as soon as possible so the tickets can be made available for other visitors. 

If you’re a member, the option to cancel or change your booking can be found in your confirmation email by selecting ‘view and manage your order online' underneath your order summary. 

For non-members, please ring us on 0344 249 1895 to discuss changing your booking.
