The manor is open for one day only over the bank holiday weekend
The Easter bank holiday is here, so it’s time to think about what you want to do with the family. There will be much on offer in Cambridgeshire, but for anyone willing to venture a bit further, there are some great things to do.
If people travel to Grantham, around a 40-minute drive from Peterborough, they will come across Harlaxton Manor, a grand manor with stunning gardens. The manor is only occasionally open to the public.
But for Easter weekend, the manor will be open, offering people a rare chance to explore the grounds. Harlaxton Manor will open from 10am until 5pm on Saturday (April 4).
There are lots of fun activities on offer, ranging from the Gregory Goose and friends golden Easter egg hunt, to traditional garden games. On the manor website, it said: “Celebrate Easter in the stunning surroundings of Harlaxton Manor and its magnificent gardens!
“We’re excited to host a special Bank Holiday weekend filled with family-friendly activities for all to enjoy.” The other fun on offer includes a children’s drawing room, so little ones can share their creative flair. There will also be live music, so people can relax to the sounds of a pianist and singer.
Food and refreshments will also be served across the day. Hot and cold food will be on offer, with a selection of drinks for kids and adults.
People will also be able to learn about the manor’s history from staff and students at Harlaxton College. Also, watch out for the Easter bunny as they will be making a special appearance.
Tickets can be purchased online for the morning session between 10am and 1.30pm, or an afternoon session between 1.30pm and 5pm. Tickets range in price.
For adults it is £15, and for a child aged between two and 16 years old, it costs £8.50. For students and people aged over 65, it costs £13.
For a family ticket, which is up to two adults and three children, it costs £40. Under twos can enter for free.
