 Hop to Tatton Park this Easter for lots of chocolatey fun !

There is so much happening at Tatton Park this Easter with chocolate trails in the

Gardens, Mansion and at the Farm (29 March - 1 April). With a ewe-nique Shaun the

Sheep arts trail through the Gardens together with Shaun’s Easter championsheep

games, Little Grey Fergie the Tractor at the Farm and an Easter Bunny trail in the

Mansion, families will be spoilt for choice. Retail therapy is also on the agenda with a

four-day Easter Pop Up Market in the bustling Stableyard where you will discover

artisan food producers, local artwork, and beautiful homeware.

Find the flock!

Visitors to Tatton Park will be able to follow an exciting arts trail of 12 super-sized

Shaun the Sheep sculptures, each of which will be uniquely designed and painted by

a group of artists from across the region. The trail is the result of a collaboration with

BAFTA® award-winning production studio, Aardman, and global art producer, Wild in

Art, which sees one of Aardman’s much loved characters, and star of film and

television, ‘Shaun the Sheep’ coming to Tatton Park this spring. The sculptures will

be positioned in Tatton Park’s iconic gardens and will represent a colourful

celebration of everything visitors love about Tatton’s glorious gardens. In addition,

visitors that flock to Tatton on Monday 1 April will have the chance to meet Shaun

OFFICIAL himself!

More baa-rilliant fun at the Farm!

Those who haven’t had enough of sheep spotting will be able to meet the adorable

newborn lambs at the Farm during Lambing Week (5 – 12 April) and listen as Farm

staff share their expertise with visitors, giving informative talks at the lambing shed.

They will also have chance to see Ewe-Tube sensation Little Grey Fergie, the Tractor,

making the Farm his home in 2024, and trying to avoid the scrap dealers who are after

him! For Easter Aunt Mary will be in her Cottage decorating the egg tree, and visitors

can enjoy storytelling and meeting the chicks.

Disco!
