Hop into Spring at the Chester House Estate

05 March 2026

The Chester House Estate’s largest event of the year returns for 2026, and visitors are urged to book their tickets now.

The Spring Farming Adventure opens on Saturday 28 March, running daily throughout the Easter holidays until Sunday 12 April 2026. 

Always a popular event, included in each passport ticket per child, core activities are:

• Lamb feeding - enjoy a hands-on approach and bottle feed a cade lamb. The Water Meadow Park Livestock Team will be on hand to guide families, talk about the lambs and answer any questions
• The Easter Bunny’s Craft Barn - a chance to meet the Easter Bunny and take part in a selection of Spring themed crafts.
• Giant Easter Egg hunts - 3 trails across the Estate
• Children will receive a tasty treat after completing the activities on their passport

Each child’s ticket includes entry for one supervising adult.

Plus, throughout the day, there will be fun activities including mini pedal tractor toys near our playpark and Craft Barn, Easter themed treats in the Farmhouse Café and Haybarn Bar and plenty to see and do around the Estate.

The Spring event is always one of the busiest and most popular at the Estate and this year is set to be no different with thousands of visitors flocking to the site.

Alongside the lambs and our Spring event, there is always plenty to do and see at the Chester House Estate so I would encourage you to come along and join the team on site.Cllr Greg Wilcox, North Northamptonshire Council’s Executive Member for Communities
