Our Easter trail is packed with hands on activities inspired by visitor favourites—perfect for little ones eager to explore. Children can race wheelbarrows around winding slalom poles, test their aim with beanbags and hoopla, or see who can fling a welly the furthest across the lawn.
Creative minds can enjoy drawing their own portrait on vibrant flower‑shaped chalkboards, composing their own tunes with our joyful outdoor music station, and discovering what’s hidden inside our tactile mystery boxes.

"Charis is a young warrior from Corinth in Ancient Greece, who has recently joined a trading expedition to the mountainous region of Macedonia, protecting the precious cargo. Charis’s best friend is a wool merchant named Cleon. As the group passes by Mount Olympus, home of the Greek Gods, Cleon mysteriously disappears. One of the merchants claims he saw Cleon being taken by a God to the top of the mountain. Charis decides to leave the group behind and climb up Olympus on his own, in order to find out what happened to his friend..."
