Giant egg hunt comes to RHS Bridgewater this Easter

Families will be able to hunt for the colourful giant eggs in a trail at RHS Bridgewater this Easter.

A 'supersized family adventure' is promised in the garden 'as some larger-than-life hand-painted eggs await discovery'.

The Giant Egg Hunt will be running at the attraction, in Worsley, Salford, throughout the school holidays, from Saturday, April 2 until Easter Monday - April 18.

Visitors will be given an explorer pack, with details of the trail, as well as fun puzzles to solve and plants and wildlife to spot along the way.

Explorers of all ages are invited to take part, with every child who successfully finds all the hidden eggs being rewarded with a free chocolate treat from PLAYin CHOC to take home.

It's just one of a number of events coming to the 154-acre site, which has its own Woodland Play area featuring hobbit houses, climbing frames, mud kitchens and more.

On Mother's Day, Sunday, March 27, visitors can enjoy Ramadan Kareem, a fun, interactive storytelling show inspired by Hiba Masood’s charming children’s book, Drummer Girl.

Devised and performed by Hina Qureshi, it promises to 'transport audiences to Karachi in Southern Pakistan' to with a joyful story all about following your dreams.

The two 60-minute performances at 1pm and 3pm are ideal for little music-makers age three and over who are encouraged to take along their own drums - or a pan and a spoon - and join in the fun. You can book online to reserve your place.

On April 2 and 3 it's also the venue's Plant Heritage Spring Fair, with stalls from 10 specialist plant nurseries in the North, plus expert demonstrations and talks. For families there'll be a spring garden mini-trail to follow.
