- Booking not needed
- Admission applies
Step into a world of tradition and play, as we celebrate Easter Adventures at Hardwick!
With 10 activity stations to find, follow the barefoot trail before you leap into lively Maypole dances. Test your skill as you guide your ball safely down the chutes to mirror the age-old thrill of egg rolling.
For the bold and adventurous, our jousting tournament awaits, mount your trusty hobby horse and charge toward victory! Weave your way through the bunting maze and balance your egg in a spoon race, or adorn our Flowering Fool, with ribbons and blooms to mark the turning of the seasons.
Price:
£3.50 per child (for both members and non-members). A trail must be purchased for each participant to ensure all children will get their chocolate egg at the end.
