Easter in Devon

The coastal resorts of North Devon are once again gearing up for Easter celebrations. As thousands of people travel to this wonderful part of the world, several key events will be shining a spotlight on local culture and providing a spectacular time for anyone visiting. Here’s our guide to having the best Easter in Devon.

Find the Clovelly Easter Chick, Clovelly Village, Clovelly

Wander Clovelly’s High Street in search of 15 feathery friends. Easter chicks have been hidden all along the way, so you’ll need to keep your eyes peeled for these chirping charmers. The Visitors Centre will give you a map to mark the location of each chick. Once you’ve found at least 10 of them, you can return for a prize. The event runs every day from March 19-28, 2016. It’s fun for all ages!

Landmark Easter Craft Fair, Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe

Easter Egg Hunt, Hartland Abbey And Gardens, Hartland

The annual Easter Egg Hunt is back! This well-known tradition has brought joy to children and parents alike. Children can wander the beautiful gardens with their lush greenery while searching for clues that will lead them to collectible Easter eggs. Wooded paths and blooming flowers provide a colorful backdrop to a long-standing favorite for Easter activities. The Easter Egg Hunt runs March 27-28, 2016 from 11am-4pm.

Toddler Takeover Day, The Big Sheep, Bideford

Make way for the little ones! The Big Sheep‘s Toddler Takeover Day gives smaller children the chance to hunt for Easter Eggs before the big kids do. Other activities for toddlers will also be hosted, including Meet The Easter Bunny, animal petting zoos, face painting and more! Space is limited to 250 persons, so make sure you reserve your spot before they run out. Those with annual passes get in for free, but reservations must still be made. The event is held March 22-24, 2016.
