Family Activity Breaks 2026
Easter Family Holiday Long Weekend
- Date:
- Fri 3 – Mon 6 April
- Price:
- Adult £237
Child £135 (under two free)
This is a weekend for everyone who enjoys some of the older and newer Easter traditions.
We shall decorate eggs, eat hot cross buns, construct Easter hats, hunt for Easter nests, boil eggs and roll them! In fact, egg rolling, on the slopes of Barbury Castle is a highpoint of this weekend’s celebrations. Activities will take place in the craft shed, round the fire, on the high hills, and often in the giant hammock or on the barn rope swing! It is a celebratory weekend for young, not so young, and old, in fact, anyone young enough in spirit to have a good time.
