Step into a world of storytelling and discovery with an interactive family trail inspired by Aesop’s timeless fables and the imaginative vision of Victorian architect William Burges. Known for his love of bold colour and richly detailed decoration, Burges filled Knightshayes with flamboyant animal motifs woven through its furniture and interiors. As you explore the beautiful house and grounds, you'll encounter a variety of fun tasks and puzzles that bring Aesop’s timeless tales to life. From the clever fox to the determined tortoise, each stop on the trail offers a chance to learn valuable lessons through play and discovery. Along the way, spot the animals that echo Burges’ designs and see how stories and architecture come together in this fun Easter experience for all ages. Don't forget to collect your chocolate egg at the end! Easter Adventures will run from Saturday 28 March - Sunday 19 April. The price for each trail is £3.50 per child and includes a trail map and a chocolate egg. Normal admission fees apply. Dogs on a short lead are welcome in the garden.
