Easter Egg Hunt at Leeds Castle

Friday 3rd April 

Easter Egg Hunt

We woke this morning to the weather being dull and wet, however we wasnt going to let this put us off going along on a egg hunt at Leeds Castle, sponsored by Lindt. So we set off early afternoon as this is a venue that is on our doorstep as such!

On our arrival, we went to purchase our Egg hunt cards which were only £1 per child, we were given the option of two. These were both easy hunts, however one was shorter than the other, so we took one of each, having both the girls with us aged 6 and 12.

Amelia’s hunt was to find the 8 very colourful eggs, which each had a letter on, around the Woodland walk. Once she had all 8 letters, Amelia had to rearrange them to make a word. Maisie’s trail was to answer questions on the circus themed characters and to then break the code. Both the girls also had to count how many easter bunnies they could find hiding around the grounds. The girls managed to spot 18, but there were 2 hiding!!! Their reward for the hunt was a chocolate Egg.

The girls missed the jester juggling so went for a play in the Knights Realm Play area, which is a scaled model of the castle for all ages starting from 5. The knights Realm has secret tunnels, slides, bash bags rope walk ways as well as a sand play area. Due to the weather starting to rain again we took a walk around the castle itself. It was a first time for all of us, and to say we were amazed by its history was an understatement!.. Because of the weather we left the Maze out today, however as we have the annual passes, this means that we can go back on a dry day and take part in the bits we didn’t do today.

There were many other activities also happening today and all over Easter from the children learning a variety of circus skills, having their faces painted, having a go at archary to the children taking part in decorating an egg in the Fairfax Restaurant at a fee of £2, which includes all materials. (You can book online and receive a 10% discount)

This Easter Hunt is on at Leeds Castle until 19th April, and is great for keeping the kids amused. 

Have you got any plans for a easter hunt?
