Best Ideas for Brilliant Easter Days Out in 2023

Here are all the best Easter days out this year, from Lofaris. If you want to have a special day out for Easter this year, then just pick your favourite from the below!

1. Easter events with the National Trust, Nationwide

National Trust properties and gardens have some eggs-cellent plans in place for Easter. Amongst the nature-inspired activities on offer are some of the most exciting Easter egg hunts across the country. And the chocolate reward at the end of the trail is none other than a Rainforest Alliance egg to devour, made from responsibly sourced cocoa making it an even tastier treat.

2. Easter Egg masterclasses, York Cocoa Works, North Yorkshire

The York Cocoa Works chocolate emporium is the stuff of Willy Wonka-inspired dreams. From bean to bar, all chocolate is manufactured locally, with the chance to get creative in the workshops on offer this Easter – such as lollipop, Easter egg and chocolate bar making, and the important job of taste testing. A sure way to feed a sugar fix.

3. Blenheim Palace x Hotel Chocolat, Oxfordshire

Blenheim Palace has teamed up with luxury chocolatiers, Hotel Chocolat over the Easter weekend to offer young visitors the chance to create their own tasty treats. Taking place in the Palace's Walled Gardens, interactive workshops will guide children through the fascinating history of cocoa beans whilst experimenting, decorating, and personalising their very own chocolate slabs. Children's Chocolate Workshop, £15. Look out for the Easter bunny too!

4. Easter Chocolate Making Masterclass, Sussex

Learn to make artisan chocolates this Easter under the expert guidance of Mike Noble, Owner & Head Chocolatier from the acclaimed Sussex based artisan chocolatiers, ‘Noble and Stace'. Budding chocolatiers will have the chance to practice making their very own Easter eggs, Easter themed bunny chocolates, fresh cream and caramel truffles. Beautifully presented and served with a recipe handout, it's the perfectly indulgent gift that keeps on giving. The masterclass costs £150 including tuition; lunch and over £50 worth of your quality chocolate creations gift wrapped for Easter.

5. Easter Dragon hunt at Ludlow Castle, Shropshire

Dragon's eggs are due to hatch this Easter weekend at Ludlow Castle which calls for a baby dragon hunt. Little and big kids alike are sure to have fun spotting the clues and claiming their chocolate themed prize. It's £2.50 per trail.

6. Giant eggs at RHS Garden Bridgewater, Salford

Like something from outer space, the giant, multi-coloured eggs are due to land at RHS Garden Bridgewater, Salford. The new 156-acre garden will be invaded by ginormous, painted eggs disguised amongst the flora and fauna, as part of a special Easter trail. Guaranteed fun for the whole family.
