A FAMILY of woodland animals is the new attraction at the Rococo Garden in Painswick this Easter.

The garden staff have teamed up with local author and illustrator, Hannah Shaw, to create the animals.

Young explorers, armed with adventure booklets, will set out on a journey to help Snowdrop Bunny find friends and locate the Easter surprise.

Along the way they’ll learn the fascinating restoration of the garden and the animals that call it home.

At the end of the trail, they must decipher a puzzle to claim the delicious Easter prize.

The Garden has plenty to keep energetic explorers of any age busy. The size of the play area was doubled over last winter, so there are now many more opportunities for climbing, balancing and generally letting off steam.

With free parking, delicious food, homemade cakes, and freshly-ground coffee, it all makes for a stress-free, fun day out.

The trail will run from Friday, March 30 until Sunday, April 15 inclusive during normal opening hours.

There's a charge of £1 for the trail in addition to normal admission.

The Garden is open daily from 10.30am – 5pm, and is located on the B4073 just outside Painswick village centre.
