Easter adventures await for all the family at Nunnington Hall

Throughout the Easter school holiday, there’s a range of exciting activities at the National Trust property near Helmsley.

Children can take part in an Easter egg hunt around the garden, with familiar activities to be completed including sack races, archery, seed planting and an egg and spoon race, before collecting their egg at the end.

Over the Easter weekend, on Sunday 20 and Monday 21 April, there will be additional activities for people to get involved with in the garden, including crafts and races on the main lawn.

Sarah Nolan, Visitor Experience Officer at Nunnington Hall, said: “It’s all about families having fun here at Nunnington over Easter and we’ve made sure there’s plenty for them to do during their visit.

“The Easter egg hunt trail, which is available for the full two weeks, is always popular and a great way to enjoy being outdoors.

“On Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday there will be themed children’s races on the main lawn, which always draw a crowd.

“For children who prefer a quieter visit, we’ll also be offering craft sessions over those two days.”

Elsewhere outside, children can explore the Lion’s Den play area, where they can enjoy an obstacle course, rope bridge and climbing frame.

They will also be able to enjoy seeing the Hall’s resident peacocks.

Families can join the Easter egg hunt at Nunnington Hall daily until Monday 21 April. It’s open from 10.30am to 5pm, with last entry at 4pm.

Normal property admission applies with free admission for National Trust members and under-fives.

Prices are £3.50 per trail, which includes an Easter trail sheet and a milk chocolate or Free From egg.
