The Easter Bunny Hunt takes place during the Easter school holidays and is run from the Visitor Centre. It is a fun event and requires no pre-registration. We only ask for a small donation of £3 per child, which is payable on the day.
Children are asked to follow a trail around a small area of the park in order to find a number of wonderfully painted animals, which inturn leads them to the location of the mysterious blue Easter Bunny. They will also be provided with a questionaire, which each question relating to the hidden animals in the hunt. Each question relates to the specific animal on the trail and should be completed whilst at the location. It’s a great way to encourage young children to explore their local park and the great outdoors, although everybody attending this event seems to enjoy it!
The History Walk is an opportunity to learn about the history of the area that is now Highfield Park. At each stop along the way, Trustees explain its significance and welcome questions and additional information from the participating walkers.
It starts and finishes from the Visitor Centre, which is adjacent to a free car park that will be open for the event. There is no need to book in advance, although upon arrival the Trust asks for a small donation of £3 to assist in its work, but this is entirely voluntary.
