The Enchanted Cave

About

The Enchanted Cave - An egg hunt with a difference!

Explore a magical illuminated trail deep underground this Easter.

Discover a charming and magical illuminated trail within Gough’s Cave this Easter, where fairies glisten, flowers grow and eggs glow.

Running from 29th March – 14 April during the Easter school holidays, this fun and interactive trail will keep the whole family entertained.

On your travels, you will discover glowing eggs, sparkling flowers and illuminated guardian fairies who need your help! A mischievous eagle has taken their Easter eggs and hidden them deep within Gough’s Cave.  The eagle was last seen in the Diamond Chamber where he is guarding a Giant Golden egg!  Can you help find the missing eggs?

The fairies hold the secret to why the eggs are so special and why they need them back!

If you find the missing eggs and ‘crack’ the secret code, there’s a treat waiting for you.

After you’ve finished the trail, you can join us for fun Easter arts and craft activities taking place in the Events Room throughout the day.
