What's on this Easter

Two children, one wearing glasses, examine a colourful brochure titled "Art and Nature Hunt" in a park. They stand close together, focused on the map, with greenery and a sculpture visible in the background.

Easter Art and Nature Hunt

Pick up an activity sheet from the Information Desk and use it to help you explore. Find 4 of the trail points and return to the Information Desk, The Weston or any of our cafés to collect a chocolate treat (while stocks last).

A man and a young child are exploring a garden. The man leans over the child, who is excitedly looking at a bush through a magnifying glass. Both are engaged in the activity, with the child wearing a playful expression. Sunlight filters through the trees in the background.

Tree Discovery Kit

Collect a free tree discovery kit from the Information Desk and take time to get creative while you notice the trees at YSP. Subject to availability.
