Easter-time fun and adventures instore for families
VISITORS can enjoy a supersized family adventure at Rosemoor this Easter by hunting down the larger-than-life eggs awaiting discovery and joining in fun workshops and shows.
Explorers of all ages can search for huge eggs throughout the garden and if you find them all you win a free chocolately treat!
Then there are lots of family activities scheduled to help you make the most of the holidays, ranging from free craft workshops to exciting science shows.
An RHS spokesman said: “It’s not all just for children either, time your visit to coincide with The Great Wool Weekend on Saturday, April 13, and Sunday, April 14, and there is even more to see and do.
“Discover new ways to use this sustainable and natural material practically and creatively in your life, getting inspiration from demonstrations, creative workshops and by meeting specialist textile artists and craftspeople.
“Learn a new skill and browse tools, materials, starter kits, books and gifts to take home from a wide array of exhibitors, not to mention guest appearances from some gorgeous woolly animals from local breeders!
“So plan in a visit to these beautiful gardens for some quality family time enjoying nature together.”
