THE EASTER Bunny and the Lost Eggs Trail will take children on an adventure in the grounds of Wilton House.

The trail launches on the first day of Wilton House Grounds opening for 2023 and will take the children on an adventure past the whispering seat, along the River Nadder and through the woodland.

Children will follow a map to find the lost eggs and search for different letters to crack secret party passwords. There will be 12 large and colourful eggs to hunt for.

Events fundraiser for Julia’s House, Chantelle Shave said: “We’re thrilled to be hosting our Easter trail event for Julia’s House in the glorious grounds of Wilton House again this year. We’re planning an exciting week of activities at our Julia’s House tent on the lawn, including our ever-popular teddy tombola and a children’s bookstall. We hope everyone will come along to help poor Squizzle Squirrel and all the Toys find Easter Bunny’s lost eggs!”

Chantelle added, “We rely almost entirely on kind donations to fund our vital service in Wiltshire and Dorset. This event is a wonderful way for us to create something magical and fun for local families, and raise money to support the seriously ill children who rely on our care.”
