The promise of spring is on the horizon and we are getting egg-cited about the Easter holidays. There are plenty of events and activities taking place across Harrogate and surrounding areas over the Easter weekend and school holidays to keep all the family entertained. Here are a few of our favourites from our Easter egg-stravaganza to make sure you have a cracking time!

Little adventurers will love a trip to Beningbrough Hall, Gallery and Gardens from 23 March - 7 April, 10am – 4pm each day.

Here they can discover the ten-point trail around the gardens armed with a trail sheet, pencil, bunny ears and a chocolate egg. Activities along the way also include hopscotch and skipping. If the children still have energy to burn head to the wilderness play area afterwards and finish the day with a treat from the restaurant or buy a memento from the shop.
