First up, the House of Marbles is launching an innovative virtual Easter Egg Hunt

Toy and game experts House of Marbles is offering an Eggs-traordinarily innovative Easter Egg Hunt at its Bovey Tracey head office on the 10^th, 11^th & 13^th April. The team at House of Marbles is adding a bonus digital Easter Egg Hunt to its traditional offering to bring together the whole family in this interactive activity. Visitors can enjoy a classic Easter Egg Trail but with bonus ‘hidden Easter Egg’ questions to answer as you go.

Events Coordinator, Tania Paine, said: “If you don’t know the answer, just scan the QR code on the Easter Egg using a smartphone or tablet with mobile data, then ‘hey presto’ the answer will pop up on your screen. What we particularly love about this idea is that it will be engaging for all ages.’’

The House of Marbles traditional Easter Egg Hunt will also be running from April 11 - April 13. There is no admission charge and parking is free. There is a restaurant, museums, shop, play area and Teign Valley Glass based on site.

Legendary National Trust property Greenway is perhaps most famous for its previous owners, the Christie family.

This Easter, families (and dogs on leads) can take part in exploring the magical South Devon estate on a very special Easter trail. You can become a wildlife detective and hunt for signs of animals in the garden at Greenway. By following the clues around the estate you can finish your adventure with a delicious, Cadbury chocolate treat (while stocks last).
