Easter Egg hunts

We all loved waking up on Easter Sunday morning to hunt for those Easter eggs that our parents squirrelled away. Well, why not do that in one of our family holiday homes in St Ives? Or, if you want your children to participate in one of the many Easter Egg hunts happening locally, here are some suggestions:

Paradise Park in Hayle
Flambards, Helston
Eden Project, St Austell
National Trust teams up with Cadbury every year to run egg hunts in many of its properties. The local houses and gardens participating nearby are

Trengwainton Garden, Penzance
Godolphin, Helston
East Pool Mine, Redruth
Trerice, Newquay
Holywell, Newquay
Glendurgan Garden, Falmouth
Trelissick Gardens, Falmouth. (Trelissick Gardens is our favourite).

What to do in St Ives

Get creative at Leach Pottery's 'Clay Days' or at Tate St Ives' 'Tate Create' events. Why not make your own Easter eggs at I Should Coco chocolate workshops or if you fancy hunting down the murderer in the 'Murder Mystery Treasure Trail', pop into the Library in St Ives for a pack.

Why not pack a picnic of pasties and saffron buns and head out for a walk on the South West Coast Path? Walk along the rugged path to Zennor, stopping for a clifftop picnic.
