The much-loved family treasure hunt at Eastnor Castle, Ledbury, will be taking place over the Easter weekend every day from Good Friday, March 25th to Bank Holiday Monday, March 28th between 11am and 5.30pm.

This year’s hunt is about EGGstraordinary Eastnor celebrating EGGstraordinary people! Visitors will need to find dressed up Easter chickens and bunnies to solve clues about remarkable sportsmen, poets, and inventors to reveal one very famous person.

The Castle General Manager David Littlewood says “We have lots of fun events planned for this summer but we also want our visitors to enjoy the attractions that are always here, so this year we’ve introduced a brand new Woodland Play Area which we hope the children will enjoy playing in. This is our 127th year of opening and we always look to include something new each season.”

Every child taking part in the EGGstraordinary Easter Hunt will receive a chocolate treat and there will be a draw at the end of each day, when one lucky family will win a giant chocolate egg in a basket. In addition, the Knight’s Maze, junior assault course, Land Rover Little Off-Roaders, adventure playground, mini zip wire, castle shop, ice cream parlour and tea room will also be open throughout the weekend.
