Special Event
Become an Easter Detective – find the clues, solve the crime and rescue the Easter bunny – chocolate reward offered. A delightful new interactive experience is set to bring mystery and excitement to families visiting RHS Garden Bridgewater this Easter, as the Easter Detectives trail invites visitors to step into a world of clues, suspects and seasonal fun. Just as the Easter Bunny was ready to deliver chocolate across the country, disaster struck – every basket was found completely empty, with only a single carrot left behind. While whispers spread suggesting the Easter Bunny is to blame, evidence points to a far more mischievous plot. The carrot appears deliberately placed, and eight curious characters were spotted near the scene of the crime. The Easter Detectives trail challenges families to uncover the truth, follow the clues hidden throughout the garden, and solve the mystery of who framed the Easter Bunny. Visitors can purchase a £3 activity pack for each detective in their group and embark on a puzzle‑solving adventure designed to spark imagination and teamwork as they work to solve the mystery of the missing chocolate in time to save Easter. The Detective packs include colouring pencils and activities at multiple levels, so there is something for all ages. There is also a simpler secondary trail for younger investigators to enjoy – and naturally, every detective gets a chocolate prize. This brand‑new intergenerational experience promises an engaging and entertaining day out for the whole family, combining storytelling, problem‑solving and plenty of Easter charm.
