Easter Fun for All the Family in East Yorkshire

Here are some fantastic Easter activities happening across East Yorkshire in 2026.

Burton Constable Hall – Easter Trails in the Hall and Parkland

Saturday 28th March – Sunday 12th April 2026

Celebrate the arrival of spring with the popular Easter Trails at Burton Constable Hall, where families can enjoy not one but two separate trails.

Inside the historic hall, children can follow clues hidden throughout the grand rooms while exploring this beautiful country house. Outside, the parkland trail invites young adventurers to search the grounds for more Easter surprises.

Complete a trail and there’s a treat waiting at the end of the adventure.

Extra Activities – Good Friday (3rd April)

Visitors can also enjoy additional activities across the estate including archery, storytelling and an Easter Bonnet Competition.

The trails run daily from 10am – 5pm, and visitors can choose between Parkland-only tickets or Hall & Parkland admission. Easter activity packs are also available on the day.

Burton Agnes Hall – The Giant Easter Egg Hunt


23rd March – 12th April 2026

Burton Agnes Hall hosts a wonderfully unique Easter egg hunt with a twist.

Hidden around the woodland are 25 huge hand-carved and painted wooden eggs – scaled up for children to discover as they explore the grounds.

Families can also follow an Easter trail of eight clue boards through the gardens while learning about the traditions behind the Easter celebration.

To add to the fun, children receive a pouch of chocolate eggs which they can use to create their own mini egg hunt.

Tickets and further details can be found at burtonagnes.com.

Sledmere House – Lambing Time & Easter Trail

Lambing Time: 28th March – 6th April 2026
Easter Trail: 28th March – 12th April 2026

Springtime at Sledmere House means one very special thing – lambing season.

Visitors can meet the newborn lambs, watch footage from the lambing sheds, and learn from the farm team about this busy time of year on the estate. If you’re lucky, you may even get the chance to help with bottle feeding.

Families can also enjoy Sledmere’s Egg-cellent Easter Trail through the parkland and gardens, spotting Easter eggs and bunnies along the way before claiming a sweet treat prize.

On Saturday 4th April, visitors can also enjoy Sledmere’s first Farmers Market.

Please note that dogs are not allowed in the main lambing barn, and pregnant visitors are advised not to come into close contact with sheep during lambing.
