Families are guaranteed a weekend of Easter fun this April as Haddon Hall hosts a programme of eggciting activities to be enjoyed over the school holidays.

Dressed in spring finery and alive with the scent of seasonal flowers, Haddon will be hosting an eggcellent event for families over Easter weekend. Open from April 10th – 13th, children are invited to bring along their very own Easter bonnets to win prizes at the daily Easter Bonnet Competition and to take part in egg and spoon races in the iconic 100ft Long Gallery.

Families can meet the Easter Bunny for a giant Easter Egg Hunt around the Hall and gardens on Easter Sunday to find delicious chocolate eggs, while Archery will be open for families to try by the River Wye on the Chapel fields.

For those who would like to enjoy a special family meal over the Easter period, don’t forget to visit the Haddon Hall Restaurant where they serve a fabulous range of dishes along with a delicious Traditional Afternoon Tea.

On April 1st, Haddon will also be launching a delightful exhibition, uncovering the origins of Easter traditions from pre-Christian beliefs and folklore to biblical accounts of Christ’s death and Resurrection. Open until April 30th, the exhibition will be positioned throughout the hall, where guests can enjoy learning about the symbolism of spring flowers; where the term Easter came from; the story of the Easter bunny and the debate of the Easter date.
