Easter egg hunt at Calke Abbey
This spring, treat the whole family to a world of adventure at Calke Abbey on an Easter trail.
- Booking not needed
- Admission applies
Make your way along the trail and find ten spring-inspired activities for the whole family.
The trail takes place between 5 – 23 April from 10am – 4.30pm, with last entry at 4pm, so come along and explore the beautiful Parkland and Pleasure Grounds of Calke Abbey.
There's a choice of two main trails to pick from:
- The long trail takes you around the Parkland and Calke Explore, where you’ll visit the bunny bootcamp and have a go at welly wanging.
- The shorter, accessible trail is suitable for little legs, exploring the Pleasure Grounds and Stableyards, with the opportunity to test your nose and discover hidden smells or count Easter bunny’s carrots.
Prices are £3.50 per trail which includes an Easter trail sheet, bunny ears and dairy or vegan and Free From* chocolate egg.
*Suitable for people with milk, egg, gluten, peanut and tree nut allergies.
We’re trialling using a mobile Changing Places from RevoLootion on 16 April from 10am – 5pm. The unit will be located by the back of the Riding School and contains a toilet with retractable grab rails, an electric hoist (users required to bring their own sling) and an adjustable changing table. An attendant will also be on site to provide assistance if needed.
Please note that normal admission prices also apply.
