Events for April 2026

The Easter Bunny’s Bonnet Bonanza

28th Mar - 18th Apr from 10.00am - 5.00pm

Garden Trail: 10am - 5pm | Included in admission price

Despite it being the busiest time of year for the Easter Bunny, they have added the extra pressure of hosting a Big Bonnet Bonanza for friends and family! On their way back home from the craft shop, the Easter Bunny dropped all the bonnet items on the floor and a gust of wind swept them away ruining everything! We need your help this Easter to wander through the gardens, discover the items high and low and create a new shopping list for the Easter Bunny to use in order to replace the ruined items in time for the Big Bonnet Bonanza!
