Crackin’ great fun at Sudeley Castle over the Easter school holidays.  They have a brand new Easter Egg Hunt across the castle grounds from 23rd March – 7th April 2024, featuring a dozen brightly painted giant eggs and an incredibly rare Elephant Bird Egg and half price children’s tickets.

Families are invited to follow a trail, comprising of a dozen giant decorated eggs, which will have been hidden playfully across the castle grounds. A dozen brightly painted giant eggs have been designed by a series of professional artists[LG1] , following a Queenly theme, and four have been designed by pupils from local schools, including Winchcombe Abbey C of E Primary School, Isbourne Valley, and Winchcombe secondary school, with Dean Close school choosing to paint a life-sized, egg-laying animal as their sculpture: the crocodile!

Each decorated egg contains a clue and a challenge that leads to the discovery of an extraordinarily rare Elephant Bird Egg – the largest real egg in the world, originally found in Madagascar. From ancient yew hedges to castle walls, participants will embark on an adventure through historical landmarks such as the Tithe Barn, Magnolia Walk, Queen’s Gardens, and the recently unveiled Animal Ark to complete the quest. Additionally, over the Easter Weekend (29th March – 1st April) there will be extra special activities on offer, including a chicken run egg and spoon race across the castle’s ha-ha.



The Easter festivities aren’t the only reason to celebrate, as Sudeley Castle have announced that all children’s tickets will be half price throughout the Easter Holidays (Saturday 23rd March – Sunday 7th April), making them just £5, meaning Sudeley is the ultimate affordable Easter adventure for families.
