Easter egg hunt at Gibside 2026

Make your way along the trail and find 10 activities for the whole family. Hop along the Avenue and through the Walled Garden, stopping at each trail activity station.

Families can enjoy music and movement, lawn games, hobby horse racing, sack races, welly‑wanging and more. Little explorers can also try the spinners, spot giant bugs, hunt for eggs and chicks, make a poem with log‑slice words or unwind at the yoga station.

The trail takes place until Sunday 19 April (or until we run out of eggs), from 10am to 3pm. Prices are £3.50 per trail pack which includes an Easter trail sheet, bunny ears and dairy or vegan and Free From* chocolate egg.

There's so much to do, once Easter is over, come back to Gibside the following week to join the trail again!
