Easter Activities at Dalkeith Country Park

Details

Dalkeith Country Park’s Easter programme has officially launched with a huge variety of family events & activities. Create the ultimate Easter holiday day-out filled with egg hunting craft workshops Fort Douglas adventures Bunny Fun Runs and the very first Dalkeith Country Park Duck Race.  

The programme launches with the amazing Duck Race along the River Esk kicking off the Easter holidays. Families can then head out on the Golden Egg Hunt and search The Park for prize winning eggs or bounce on over to Fort Douglas adventure playground. Finish off the Easter extravaganza hopping off all those chocolate eggs along the 1k or 5k Bunny Fun Run. 

The Fort Douglas adventure park hosts an Easter activity area. Little adventurers are invited to hop on in and take part in the scavenger hunt down slides along wobbly bridges and flying down zip lines to collect a chocolatey prize. Once the hunt is done join the bunny helpers to get creative and decorate eggs to hang on the Fort Douglas Easter tree. Children should keep eyes and ears open for an extra special guest who may just hop on in to say hello.  

And that’s not all! Restoration Yard will play host to an abundance of workshops for both adults and children. Adults can try their hand at the art of decoupage creating a beautiful set of six hanging decorations or their very own unique plant pot. Scotts Apothecary are running a Spring Candle Making workshop producing bespoke hand-poured candles that pack a blissful punch. 

Easter workshops for little ones include Spring Storytelling Easter Cookie Decorating and Easter Craft Workshops. Parents can indulge in some well-deserved ‘me-time’ in The Kitchen or The Store while little ones enjoy the workshops.
