With an exciting family event on Easter Sunday plus outdoor fun for kids during the school holidays, the home of Sir Walter Scott has got the Easter period all wrapped up.
On Easter Sunday (10-3pm, 26 March), Abbotsford will host a special day of drop-in activities for the whole family, including a spectacular egg hunt through the glorious Abbotsford spring gardens, face painting, birds of prey demos and story-telling in a tipi.
Visitors can discover all of what Abbotsford has to offer for the special price of a Garden ticket (Family £13.00/Adult standard £3.60) and enjoy a day of outdoor fun exploring the walled gardens with their hidden treasures and eggs. There will also be opportunities to take part in craft activities in the Learning Centre and play and build dens on the estate's extensive woodland play trails. Best of all, by paying once, visitors can return to the gardens free for the whole season.
Meanwhile, Abbotsford’s Ochiltree’s family restaurant will offer a special 10% Easter discount, with a kiosk for refreshments available for thirsty children and adults taking a quick break.
Later, during the Spring holidays, there’s a chance for kids to spend a week outside, making friends and playing wild under the expert guidance of fully-qualified Forest School staff at Nature Unlimited. The week-long programme runs from Mon 4 April to Fri 8 April, 10-1pm daily (£60/child for week, booking essential).
