And don’t miss our popular self-led trail around the upper loch, searching for Easter themed clues! It wouldn’t be Easter without some cracking crafts! Take part and create some crafty easter delights, creating your own easter headband, colouring fun or egg wreath.

We even have a special egg decorating competition with an extra large egg for the winner. To be in with a chance to win bring along your best ‘Historical Figures’ themed decorated egg.

We also have the brilliant Orion Face Paints with us adorning faces and glitter tattoos.
