NEW FOR 2026! Who else is egg-cited for Easter? This year within our Easter Woods we will have photo opportunities with Care Bears - so you best hop to it and book your visit now! Children will get a Care Bear themed activity sheet where they have to read a story around the woods and write the correct answers down to the questions. Be sure the children hand in their completed activity sheet to recieve a small gift.
We love Easter so much, it’s not even bunny. If you do as well, then our Easter Woods is the place for you. This event isn’t just for children as everyone is welcome, so bring your dog along with you too.
The woods are filled with many Instaworthy photo opportunities - not just Care Bears. From our Peter Rabbit themed tunnel to our Easter-themed photo cutouts for you to pose in, you might even spot Paddington Bear along the way! Don’t forget to get a photo with our Easter characters and share the photos with us on your socials by using the hashtag #gkwoods.
OPTIONAL EXTRAS! Our bungee trampolines will be running between 11:30am and 2:30pm in our woods. Please note that our trampolines will be weather-dependent and not operate in poor weather. *Health and safety restrictions apply. Marshmallow toasting and candy floss will also be available to purchase. PLUS MORE!
Make the most of your visit with us and book one of our Easter-themed workshops! You might decide to build an Easter bear (Care Bears also available) or colour in your own plant pot and fill it with seeds to take home. GK Role Play and GK Mini Golf will also be open in our events chalet. The price of these activities includes the Easter Woods so be sure to check this out on our website - there are varied session times within our Easter Woods opening hours.
Seperate to the Easter Woods - Our Easter Bunny will also be making an appearance in our soft play at select times (see website for details and to book) and we'll be running a Breakfast with the Easter Bunny event in our main restaurant.
