From April 9 – 24 hop to it and follow Hope the Dragon’s Easter trail around the castle grounds and learn about our many secrets. Follow Hope’s clues and if you work out the special word an Easter treat awaits as your reward.
Trotting into the Easter holidays on April 11 and 18 is everyone’s favourite mini pony Marley. Marley loves a cuddle and posing for an Easter selfie as well as giving short rides around the castle grounds in his special cart.
