Stately fun at Shugborough Hall this Easter

Apr 9 2009 by justine halifax, Birmingham Mail

A MIDLAND stately home will lay on a packed programme this Easter.

There will be horse and carriage rides along Shugborough Hall’s parkland drive in Milford, near Stafford, and there will also be face painting, craft activities and children’s storytimes.

Youngsters will also be able to have fun finding hidden eggs around the Servants’ Quarters, have a go at the estate’s new quizzes and take part in egg hunts on the farm, as well as feed Avon the lamb and Simon the calf.

On Easter Monday, a brass band will be playing and the Mansion House will be transformed with spring flowers. For information, visit www.shugborough.org.uk or telephone 01889 881 388.
