Easter egg hunt at Allan Bank

About

Go on the egg hunt around the garden at Allan Bank in Grasmere. Follow in the footsteps of Wordsworth's children, John, Dora, Thomas, Catherine and William in the place where the family once lived. The trail costs £3.50 and includes a trail sheet, bunny ears and a dairy or vegan/Free-from chocolate egg.

Inside the house you'll find Easter themed printing blocks you can use to decorate a hard-boiled egg. Once dry, take your egg outside to have a go at the Georgian tradition of egg rolling in the garden. There are fun games to challenge your egg handling skills. Pick up and an egg and spoon to have a race or try your hand at 'egg' throwing. Become a hero or a villain, by putting on a cape and picking up a play sword to re-enact your own traditional Easter 'Pace' play.

No booking required. House is closed on Friday's and Saturday & Monday when not local school holidays. Check the website for live opening hours.
