Burwell Museum

Location: Mill Cl, Burwell, Cambridge, CB25 0HL

The Burwell Museum is holding an Easter Eggstravaganza on Sunday, April 5. The day will feature an Easter egg hunt with a chocolate prize for everyone involved, face painting, and crafts for children alongside the opportunity to take a look around the museum and its range of exhibitions.

Tickets to enter the museum cost £6 for adults and £3 for children with some of the activities costing a few extra pounds. The event will be running from 10am to 4pm with the last admission to the museum being at 3pm.

Chippenham Park

Location: Newmarket, Chippenham, CB7 5PT

While taking a walk through the beautiful Chippenham Park, you will need to keep your eyes peeled for the colourful bunnies hidden around the area in this special Easter egg hunt. To win an egg, you will need to collect one of the red, yellow, and blue bunnies and take it to the kitchen garden to claim the prize.

There will also be three golden bunnies in the garden and if you find one of them, you will receive an extra special egg. The Easter Egg hunt will be taking place on Friday, April 3, from 10am until 4pm.

Admission into the park for adults costs £10 with children getting in for free on the day but you will need to pay £5 for entry into the hunt.

Cambridge University Botanic Garden

Location: 1 Brookside, Cambridge, CB2 1JE

To escape from busy city life, it can be nice to spend a day in the Cambridge University Botanic Garden, especially if the weather is nice. While you are there, you might want to get your children involved in the Easter Plant Trail, which involves six hidden puzzles around the garden to try out.

The Easter Plant Trail will be running from Friday, March 20, until Monday, April 20, leaving you with plenty of time to get involved. It costs £8 for adults to enter the garden with children aged 16 and below going in for free with a trail sheet costing £1.

Ben’s Yard

Location: Stuntney, Estate, Ely, CB7 5TR

Ben’s Yard will be hosting two Easter trails from Saturday, March 28, until Sunday, April 12. If you want to get outdoors, you can follow the Wilding Walks trail to find the hidden egg signs along the way or you might want to take a look around the shops to spot the hidden teddies.

When you have finished the trail, you can go to the café to collect your mini egg prize. On select days, the Easter Bunny will be making an appearance with chocolate eggs to give out and for photo opportunities.

Cambridge Museum of Technology

Location: The Old Pumping Station, Cheddars Ln, Cambridge, CB5 8LD

If you are taking a walk along the River Cam, you might want to pop into the Cambridge Museum of Technology. On Wednesday, April 1, the museum will be holding a craft day where children can hunt for eggs and get creative by making an Easter decoration or basket.

The craft session is free but you will still need to pay for admission into the museum. It costs £5.40 for adults and £3.50 for children between the ages of five and 18.
