The Easter bunny will be hopping into action on 31 March and whether you’re ringing in the end of Lent or looking to entertain little ones during the school holidays, the long weekend is undoubtedly a chocolate-centric calendar event to celebrate.
Parents, forget the last-minute launching of mini eggs into the garden at 8am on Easter Sunday, instead hatch a plan to head out and find those coveted sweet treats.
After all, what could be more egg-citing than hunting for a glimpse of pastel foil among the shrubbery of your local stately home?

From Cadbury World to Hever Castle, we’ve rounded up the most cracking egg hunts in the UK so the whole family can indulge their inner child this Easter.
