Easter in the Dales
Enjoy Easter in the beautiful surroundings of the Kilnsey Estate.
Throughout the holidays little visitors can follow the Nutty Squirrel Easter Trail and help feed the lambs (Sat 6 April – Sun 28 April).
Over Easter weekend (20 – 22 April) there’s plenty more to keep the whole family entertained, with activities such as Easter crafts, face painting, duck racing, and traditional egg decorating and rolling. We’ll also be lighting the crackling Easter campfire. Easter Weekend events run from Easter Saturday 20 April to Easter Monday 22 April 11-4 every day.
The Nutty Squirrel Easter Trail (with a free chocolate treat for every child) will be running throughout the school holidays. Plus help feed the animals and cute lambs.

Halloween in the Dales
An action-packed week of spooks and adventure for all the family – in the company of a real-life witch! Spell making, Halloween Trail, pumpkin carving, kids crafts and face painting.
Our friendly witch is brewing up a treat (no tricks!) for you this half term. There’ll be crafts, face painting and spell-making. On selected days during half term there will be spooky(ish!) stories round the campfire with toasted marshmallows. A carved pumpkin hunt will lead you round to solve the witch’s riddle and take in the seasonal sights and sounds of the nature trail as you go. Keep snug in the café with seasonal bakes and hot chocolates.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CAMPFIRE ACTIVITY IS WEATHER DEPENDENT
