Easter Lindt GOLD BUNNY Hunt

At Hillsborough Castle and Gardens

Don’t miss the enchanting Lindt GOLD BUNNY Hunt this Easter, back for a second year by popular demand. Immerse your family in the magic of spring with this special adventure.

See the stunning gardens

Embark on a captivating journey as you explore the gardens of Hillsborough Castle. As you roam the 100 acres, be on the lookout for elusive Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues peeking out from an extravaganza of colourful blooms as part of our Spring Spectacular. Hidden amongst the charming Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues are letters that hold the key to a secret question.

Think you’ve cracked the clue? Your quest will be rewarded with a delicious Lindt GOLD BUNNY 10g chocolate* treat!

After all that exploring, take a well-earned break in our delicious café, where you can relax and refuel with a drink, indulgent cake or nutritious lunch. On Easter Monday (21 April), and Easter Tuesday (22 April), you can also make a kite together, then watch it soar in the gardens.

*Non-chocolate alternatives available on request.
