🌼 Easter Valley Egg Hunt at Aston Norwood 🌼Experience a relaxed, family‑friendly Easter adventure across 14 acres of autumn gardens.
What’s Included
Easter Egg Hunt
Explore the gardens at your booked session time and search for painted Easter tokens hidden throughout the grounds.
Adorable Hoppers Zone (Ages 1–3)
A gentle, dedicated area for our youngest hunters with easy‑to‑find tokens.
Egg Swap
Trade up to 5 tokens for Easter treats at the Easter Bunny’s Burrow.
(If you’ve collected more, you may need to return a few.)
The Easter Bunny’s Burrow
This year, the Burrow will be transformed into a cosy “bunny home” — a warm, playful space for photos, treats, coffee, and simple family games. A perfect spot to unwind after the hunt.
The Burrow is located at the far end of the gardens, and reaching it is part of the Easter Valley adventure. Families follow a short, scenic walk through the autumn trees, guided by gentle wayfinding and playful bunny‑themed markers. It’s designed to encourage exploration, movement, and time together outdoors.
Optional Add‑Ons
A seasonal High Tea will be available in the café over Easter weekend. Details and menus will be released closer to the event.

What to Expect
Enjoy the gardens at their autumn best — Japanese Maples, crisp colours, and plenty of space for families to explore together. Hidden throughout the grounds are Easter‑themed painted stones, including special gold, silver, and bronze tokens.
A Note on the Walk to the Burrow
The Easter Bunny’s Burrow sits on the opposite side of the gardens and is reached by a gentle walk along our garden paths. This is an intentional part of the experience, encouraging families to enjoy the scenery and take their time as they make their way to the collection point.
Pram‑friendly routes are available, and families with little ones are welcome to move at their own pace — the Burrow remains open throughout your session.
Rain or Shine
