The fun Easter egg hunt at RHS Rosemoor has an egg-citing new twist this year! As well as the classic quest, children can turn ‘detective’ when they seek out the colourful eggs hidden in the beautiful spring gardens.
Just be sure to grab the special code-breaker packs on arrival so your young sleuths have everything they need to solve the mystery. The £2.50 pack contains the top-secret information and tools needed to crack the ‘egg-nigma’ code. Each giant egg found will reveal a special symbol which, when translated and combined with clues from other eggs, will spell the solution to the puzzle. Your cunning code crackers will be rewarded with a chocolate treat for solving the challenge!
