National Trust Easter Egg Hunt East Anglia
Easter Holidays for us this year are a little bit different, having children in education in both Norfolk and Suffolk, means that our Easter School holiday spans three weeks, so ensure you check when the Easter egg hunts are running in your county.
The National Trust has some amazing properties and outdoor spaces to explore, and they are currently getting ready for their Easter Egg Hunts.
There are quite a few in the East Anglia for you to choose from, although i’m guessing the Easter bank holiday will be popular this year, so booking your visit is recommended to guarantee entry. Please also note that the Easter trails will last for as long as stocks last, so book early to avoid disappointment.
