Hampton Court Palace is set to host a variety of events this spring.
From a fun Easter trail with a sweet reward to one of the UK's largest displays of A planted tulips, Henry VII's stunning home will transform to a spectacle of blooming colour this spring, bringing family fun and historic charm to visitors of all ages.
Lindt Gold Bunny Hunt
The Lindt GOLD BUNNY Hunt is back by popular demand to Hampton Court Palace throughout the Easter holidays.
Running from 21 March – 12 April, attendees are invited to embark on the ultimate family Easter hunt and explore the iconic gardens and discover the remarkable individuals who left their mark on Henry VIII's home.
The trail description says: "Roam through lush gardens, keeping your eyes peeled for elusive Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues peeking out from colourful daffodils or early buds from the Tulip Festival.
"Follow the trail and match the names of influential characters to the distinctive red ribbons adorning every adorable Lindt GOLD BUNNY statue.
"Think you've found all the Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues? Your quest will be rewarded with a delicious miniature Lindt GOLD BUNNY 10g chocolate treat!
"Non-chocolate alternatives available on request."
Hampton Court Palace asks that attendees allow 90 minutes for the trail.
It added: "Our Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues are very special, so please look after them so everyone can enjoy the fun."
You will need a ticket to the palace to partake in this trail.
Members and children under five go free.

Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival
The much-loved Hampton Court Palace Tulip Festival is returning this spring with tens of thousands of tulips and vibrant spring flowers in bloom.
Recognised as Britain's Largest and Greatest Tulip Heritage Garden at the World Tulip Summit in 2024, the festival continues to showcase the beauty, variety and craftsmanship of historic and contemporary planting across the palace gardens.
The festival will run from 10am – 5.30pm on 3 April.
The festival description says: "As you wander through the grounds, discover carefully planned spring planting, from bold tulip displays to other flowering bulbs that reflect the changing seasons.
"Take your time exploring the courtyards and admire blooming displays spilling from Tudor wine fountains and vintage horse carts, before heading to the Great Fountain to see the floating tulip bowls.
"Whether you're enjoying a peaceful escape or catching up with friends, there's no better way to welcome the warmer days ahead."
Hampton Court Palace said: "Tulip flowering periods are hard to predict and so are not guaranteed. Updates on flowering will be shared on social media and this web page."
Tickets are included in palace admission.
