About

This year National Trust’s Ilam Park will be busy with bird themed games and activities for all the family throughout the Easter holidays. Make your way along the trail and find 10 fun and creative bird inspired activities located around the stunning parkland.

Build a giant bird's nest and measure your own wingspan. Test your aim and try throwing the right food shape into the right bird’s mouth at our Giant Baby Bird Feeding Station. See how far you can fly compared to a swallow.  Go on an egg hunt, win the egg and spoon race and much more!

The price of the trail is £3 per child and includes the trail activities, pencil, bunny ears, activity leaflet to take home and a chocolate egg, or vegan and free from chocolate egg.

Both eggs are made using Rainforest Alliance Certified cocoa. Find out more at www.rainforest-alliance.org.

Meeting point

Meet us by the entrance at our Easter Gazebo.
