Easter, from eggs in the war room to llamas

by   Charlotte Glascock

 

 The traditional Easter Egg Hunt - how long has it been traditional? - is with us once again. The lambs are in the field, and the giant bunnies are on show at Kew.

Find the egg

From Land's End to John O'Groats this Sunday, the Easter Egg hunt will be in full cry. There's one really unexpected location this year: the Cabinet War Rooms.

Talk to the animals

Of course, places with animals are the big attraction at this time of year.  The Big Sheep in Devon has  small sheep skipping around as well as the usual egg hunting activities.  Colchester Zoo promises plenty of new arrivals as well as party games and egg hunts.

Kew Gardens has  giant bunnies for the Easter weekend.
