Activities

Spring time disco with DJ Danny Nutt

DJ Danny Nutt from Nutty’s Children’s Parties will be playing a bouncing, bopping soundtrack to the Spring Fair, as well as party games and the Easter bonnet parade.

Circus skills

Roll up, roll up, the spectacular Project Hoop has rolled into town! Get ready to juggle, spin, and twirl as you learn jaw-dropping circus skills that will dazzle and delight!

Easter bonnet parade

Hop your way to the Bandstand to take part in the Easter bonnet parade. Bring your own eggs-travagant creation or make one on the day at family crafts.

Fete games

It’s time for the whole family to get competitive. How far can you toss a welly? Who’ll win at the coconut shy? And can you hook that duck?

Bubbleology

Enjoy a bubble show with Kat from Bubbleology. Can you catch one of her supersized bubbles as they float across the gardens?

Family crafts

Come and make a DIY spring basket. Perfect for walks around the gardens to collect your spring nature finds.

Dogs are allowed but must be kept on a lead at all times.
