Come and discover family adventures at Wightwick Manor and Gardens. With seasonal activities for little explorers, our natural woodland play and lots of walks filled with nature to discover. Find out about our latest family activities and plan your day out.
Our Easter adventures run from Saturday 12 - Friday 25 April 2025, between 10am and 5pm, with last entry at 4pm and costs £3.50 per person, so come and explore the gardens at Wightwick Manor.
At the start of your Easter trail, pick up your activity pack to find information about your traol. Find and complete the 10 activities that are hiding along the way. Bee bowling, race to build a bug and escaping the spider web maze are just some of the activities you can experience at Wightwick Manor and Gardens. Finish the trail and collect your chocolate egg (both dairy and vegan and Free From options available).
£3.50 per trail, normal admission costs apply, no booking required.
Suitable for young and old alike (youngsters under supervision please) see the woods from a higher level on our balance log walkway, scramble over the tangle climb and stretch those legs on our stilt walk.
Ask for directions from our welcome team, or see if you can find your own way, winding around the pools and heading up into the woods.
While you are up in the woodland, see if you can tick off some of your '50 things to do before you're 11¾'. Why not try:

Baby changing facilities are located in all toilet facilities – both next to Visitor Reception and in the toilet facilities next door to the Tearoom.
Your four-legged friends are welcome on leads in all areas outdoors, with the exception of the kitchen garden. We also have a dog-friendly seating area in the stables end of our tearoom. Our reception team are also stocked up on poo bags and dog biscuits, so please do ask. Dog waste can be put into any of our general waste bins.
We kindly ask that pushchairs are left by the front door of the Manor when visiting the house – we have ‘hippy-chicks’ to borrow here so ask the attendant on the front door if you would like to borrow one.
We welcome balance bikes for under 5s, but due to the nature of the gardens, no other bikes are permitted. We also ask that ball games of all kinds, frisbees and the like, drones and kites are left in your car.
