As the attraction’s vast Outdoor Gardens spring into life, visitors will be encouraged to explore and hunt for six giant eggs, each with a story to tell that will provide insights into nature. Those who find all six eggs and complete their trail cards can claim a chocolate reward.

In addition to the giant trail eggs, there will be hundreds of eggs of all different shapes and sizes hidden across the Eden Project site. Visitors can spot the eggs and guess just how many there are for a chance to win an egg-stra special Easter hamper.

Nature's spectacular spring floral display across the vast gardens at the Eden Project will this year be enhanced by the incredible creative wildflower-inspired artwork of Graphic Rewilding, whose art aims to improve quality of life and mental health. 

The eye-catching artwork on display at the Eden Project has been designed in partnership with the National Wildflower Centre and will be displayed on huge banners and across exciting games.

The games, designed for the whole family to enjoy, will be located in the Stage area, in the centre of the Eden Project site, which will transform into a lively hub of fun and entertainment. From crazy golf and pool to croquet and netball, each game features a unique twist, designed to spark curiosity about nature recovery and the simple ways we can all make a difference. Plus, little adventurers can enjoy endless fun in the Soft Play Zone.

For those wanting a quieter, reflective moment, the Graphic Rewilding designs will also feature on striking, colourful pop-up seating areas which will be fitted with soundscapes allowing visitors to sit back and relax with the sounds of nature. 

Simon Townsend, the Eden Project’s general manager, said: “As the days get lighter and our gardens begin to wake up for the season, our Easter activities will encourage our visitors to not only have fun but also engage with, and become one with, nature.

“Through our Nature Connections programmes at the Eden Project and our events in communities throughout the country, such as The Big Lunch, we know how our wellbeing can be boosted by letting nature into our lives. We hope families and friends will come together and join us this Easter to celebrate the wonders of spring and the amazing nature that comes with it.”

Graphic Rewilding said: “We’ve loved researching and hand drawing these wildflowers and couldn't be more thrilled to be developing our work with the Eden Project, who’s goal of inspiring and uplifting the public through nature completely aligns with our own creative sensibilities.”
