A Cracking Easter at Farmer Gow's
Posted Friday 13th March, 2026
Daffodils are nature's way of saying spring is coming
During our Easter Eggstravaganza we will be open every day from Friday March 27 to April 12. We absolutely adore this time of year which we see prevalent in the greening-up of the hedgerows, blossom on the trees in Henleaze Wood, birds singing (always), budding of flowers in Sarah's Peace Garden and most of all in the adoption and birthing of all our young animals. The optional Easter Egg Hunt takes place in the giant bale climb.
Easter at Farmer Gow’s is always special because it brings families together to enjoy springtime on a working farm. Children can meet our young farm animals and play on our wooden, custom-made, all-natural playground, which makes the season feel magical and memorable. The farm offers field and woodlands trails, egg hunts and adventure play activities that keep everyone entertained, while learning about farm animals and nature. Fresh air, open fields and friendly staff create a welcoming atmosphere where visitors can slow down and enjoy the beautiful countryside. With tasty treats on offer from Jon at Farmer Gow’s Kitchen, there really is something for everyone of all ages.
The Farmer Gow's Easter Egg Hunt is a foraging for eggs hidden amongst the bales and bale tunnels; you can collect eggs in a brightly-coloured supplied bucket according to age, so a 6-year-old collects 6 eggs, a 5-year-old collects 5 eggs. There's then a choice of small, fun prizes. Easter egg hunts actually originated in Germany, with roots in 16th-century Protestant traditions. The custom is also linked to the German legend of the Easter Hare, representing Spring, who laid eggs in nests and brought gifts to children.
Our popular Meet the Animals experience is a hands-on, engaging activity with goat kids, lambs, piglets, calves and chicks and this is included with your day pass. This experience is not weather dependent as it takes place in the large, visitor-friendly, animal barn.
Collecting eggs, meeting animals and exploring the farm makes Easter at Farmer Gow’s a wonderful experience. One that families remember long after the Easter holiday ends.
So, we will get out the bunting out, Jon will have sweet as well as savory treats on offer at Farmer Gow's Kitchen and the daffs will be nodding their pretty heads in approval.
Egg-cellent!
