Tor said: “We’re hopping mad about Easter here at the den and working our socks off to create another memorable experience for all families.

"The Easter Show will be our best yet and we’re planning an Easter Hunt with a difference. Be sure to book your tickets now to take advantage of early bird prices.”

"Team William are pulling out all the stops to create another magical Easter for families with children of all ages.

"Visitors are invited to enjoy the brand-new 2024 Easter Show telling the story of Easter-obsessed Dennis the Duck before helping him on a mission in our Easter Garden and hopefully earning a chocolate treat.

"The den will host a family of adorable baby chicks available for children to handle and learn all about. Farm grandma will host biscuit-decorating in the tipi with children invited to decorate an Easter shortbread.

"You can show off your best moves in the daily Bunny Bop Disco with heaps of prizes to be won. Meet William and the much-loved Easter Bunny Mascot to get the perfect picture in the meet and greet ‘Eggstagram’ Photo Station. And every paying child will go home with a little chocolate gift."
