Have a Cracking Easter at Castle Espie

Celebrate the thrill of new life as eggs begin to hatch and cute ducklings and goslings emerge. They signal the start of the Easter holidays and a fun-packed programme of activities and events for all the family to enjoy.

 So join us from the 22 March to the 7 April, 10am-4.30pm daily for the Giant Easter Bunny Hunt.  Search for the large coloured bunnies hidden around the site. Map and clues provided. Prizes for all children upon completion of the trail.
