Easter Trail - The Big Egg Adventure Trail
This Easter, something egg-straordinary is hiding in the woodland at Itchen Valley Country Park… BIG EGGS!
Grab your explorer eyes and head off along the trail to discover eggs laid by different creatures from around the world. Some are small, some are spotty, and some are so big you might not believe they’re real!
At each trail stop, you’ll find a life-sized egg. Can you guess which animal laid it before you read the clue? Step carefully, look closely, and have an egg-cellent time.
Ready to crack the clues? Let the Big Egg Trail begin!
🗺️ Pick up your trail from the café (10am–4.30 pm)
💷 £3 per trail

Pirates Of Penzance
This year, we have something new and exciting coming to our high field. Let the story begin…
Frederick was accidentally apprenticed to pirates as a child until his 21st birthday. On that birthday, he believed he would be free to leave the ship and dedicate his life to the destruction of piracy. However, the pirate king soon realised that Frederick's birthday falls on February 29, a leap year…
Frederick begins to question his fate: will he be forced to work on the king’s ship until he is 84? And will his sweetheart wait for him?
