Easter Bunny Flies In & Egg Hunt 2025
Please be aware that this is a site-wide event day. To access the Runway Café or Visitor Attraction on this day, you will require an event ticket. 30-day return daily admission tickets are not valid on event days.
We are thrilled to be hosting our annual Easter Bunny ‘flies in’ and egg hunt once more, suitable for children of all ages.
For a unique way to enjoy Easter weekend, families can catch the Easter Bunny flying into Shuttleworth in a fantastically quirky event. Let the children watch their favourite furry friend arrive in style before heading off on an Easter egg hunt through Swiss Garden, rounding off their visit with a chance to meet the Easter Bunny himself.
And there will, of course, be chocolate.
Make sure to look up around 11:30am to see the Easter Bunny soaring through the skies. Then, follow the Bunny’s helpers into Swiss Garden and start hunting for the eggs scattered throughout! Once you’ve collected your eggs, head to the Garden Room where a special chocolate treat awaits, courtesy of the Easter Bunny.
Extend the fun by exploring the Collection, Swiss Garden, and Shuttleworth House—there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
ACTIVITIES & FUN FAIR RIDES
Our children’s fun fair rides* will provide endless laughter and enjoyment.
We’re also introducing a variety of children’s entertainment, including face painting, soft play, garden games, balloon modelling, and magic shows—fun for the whole family!
GUIDED TOURS: Join one of our expert volunteers for a guided tour around our Hangars. Available from 12:00 – 16:00.
SHUTTLEWORTH HOUSE: Why not jump on one of our vintage buses and visit Shuttleworth House & explore its rich history spanning nearly 150 years, open from 11:00 – 15:00. Find out more here.
BOFORS ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUN: Let our enthusiastic team of volunteers guide you through working the BOFORS gun yourself. This interactive exhibit can be operated by ages 3 – 93!
SWISS GARDEN: Step through ornate iron gates into the quiet idyll of Swiss Garden. With quirky structures to find, and resident peacocks, it’s the perfect shady retreat on a summer’s day.
COLLECTION: Walking through the six huge hangars at Shuttleworth, you’ll see how aviation design developed from Edwardian times up until the 1950s. Don’t miss the 1909 Blériot XI, which, along with all of our aircraft, is still airworthy. It’s the world’s oldest flying aeroplane and it regularly takes the sky at our air shows.
From early 20th century aircraft, cars, buses and motorbikes to steam engines and farm machinery, it’s all here for you to discover.
* Please note: fun fair rides are available for an additional charge.
