Spring Activity Trail

Have fun completing our spring themed activity trail.

  • Booking not needed

The trail stats in the garden which is filled with hyacinths and tulips in all their spring beauty. Journey around the garden and past the Mansion House, ticking off spring themed activities on your way.

Can you get your bee through a hoop and make sure the flowers get pollinated? Act like a bunny and travel into your warren. Where will your april shower raindrops end up?
