Join the Bunny Adventures on an egg-cellent adventure this Easter! Can you find all the hidden letters that spell out a secret word?
Drop-in, no need to book, just hop to the Welcome Desk to get started.
The trail is inspired by Bloomsbury’s We’re Going on an Egg Hunt by Martha Mumford and illustrated by Laura Hughes and is part of the Bunny Adventures series – a perfect collection for young children, full of exciting adventures and fun lift-the-flap pages.
