The Beatrix Potter Garden Experience
The Beatrix Potter Garden Experience is designed for young people (and families) aged between 3 and 11 years of age to engage in a magical Easter event where they get to visit Mr McGregor’s Garden, meet and have a tea party (pre-packed cold food) with Peter Rabbit and friends. In the garden they will be invited to participate in a range of Easter inspired physical activities including an Easter egg hunt, the Peter Rabbit Easter Dance/Song and most importantly they will be invited to select certain vegetables from Mr McGregor’s garden. They will then be invited to Peter Rabbits kitchen where they will meet Mr McGregor’s Chef who will treat them to a live food demonstration designed to show them (and educate parents/carers) on how to create a simple dish with vegetables. Please note that this will only be a cooking demonstration, project participants will not eat the food that is cooked (on premises) during the demonstration, but will be given a Family Food pack to take home which contains the ingredients needed to cook the meal featured in the demonstration. Guaranteed to bring a smile and a touch of magic to the Easter holidays.
Please call our booking line on 01740 656549 to secure your slot.
