THE much-loved family treasure hunt at Eastnor Castle, Ledbury, will be taking place over the long Easter weekend.

Visitors will be getting "EGGsperience" every day from Good Friday, April 3 to Bank Holiday Monday, April 6 between 11am and 5.30pm.

Castle manager, David Littlewood said: "The Easter chickens and bunnies will be dressed in their work wear and you will need to guess their chosen career.

“This is our favourite weekend of the year where local families come to Eastnor Castle to enjoy the annual treasure hunt and this year it’s all about our Easter Chickens and bunnies hard at work."

He added: "We have lots of new and fun events planned for this summer as well as some new attractions including audio tours, a new swing and our Land Rover Little Off-Roaders.

"As part of our on-going relationship with Land Rover Experience, they have supplied us with 4 Little Off-Roaders and we have built them their own off-road track within the grounds. We hope this will be very popular with the children where they can practice their driving skills around a fun track”.

Every child taking part in the EGGsperience Easter Hunt will win 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, Burma Bridge tree top walkway, junior assault course, mini zip wire, castle shop and tearoom will also be open throughout the weekend.
