Every Alice token found will earn a free Easter egg and, each day, there will also be a golden egg hidden containing £100.

Visitors will be also be able to participate in egg painting, egg rolling, traditional fete games and enjoy bird flying displays from the falconry centre.

People will also have the opportunity to explore Holdenby House’s new Wildlife Wing, which is home to Roxy the Fox, Norma the hedgehog, rats Neil and Neon and more.

Connie’s Tea Parlour will be serving Wonderland cakes, afternoon teas and other treats in the Old Victorian Stableyard

Holdenby House’s ‘Magic of Easter’ event will be taking place on Sunday, April 17 from 11am to 4pm and Monday, April 18 from 12am to 3pm.
