NORTON Priory has unveiled its timetable of spring activities.

On Monday and Tuesday, April 11-12, there will be family craft activities and an Easter Bunny trail around the woodlands.

Meanwhile, down at the Walled Garden, the baby rabbits have got in and visitors will be challenged to find them before they upset the gardener and eat all his plants!

Visitors can also plan flower seeds in a recycled pot to take home and help to bring back the buzzing bees.

The trails for the museum and woodland garden will also be available on Bank Holiday Friday, April 22, and Monday, April 25.

Norton Priory’s Susan MacKell said: “This event will be great fun for families, with a chance to be creative and get outside in the fresh air to explore the woodlands and gardens, all buzzing with life.”

On Sunday, May 1, there will be a guided bluebell walk through the woodlands with an expert, which is also one of the days that Walton Lea Farmer’s Market comes to the Eco Building at the Walled Garden, along with the annual Plant Hunter’s Fair.

Entrance to the farmer’s market is free, with normal entrance price for the Walled Garden still applying.
