National Trust (& other) Easter Egg Hunts in North East England


A guide to National Trust, English Heritage and other Easter Egg Hunts taking place across North East England this year. 



National Trust Easter Egg Hunts 


National Trust Easter Egg Hunts / Trails are always something we enjoy (even with older kids!). You can enjoy these trails as part of a fuller day out at each venue and it's a nice way to get the kids out for a spring walk. 

The chocolate eggs are Rainforest Alliance Certified dairy or vegan or Free From making these trails excellent for children with allergies. 

Each trail features eggs to find and a little activity at each point (usually around 10 in total) and dogs are welcome on these trails too (on leads).
