LARGE Crowds came to Eastnor Castle for Bank Holiday weekend fun.

A big attraction was the annual treasure hunt to win a large Easter egg, and the search took place from Friday to Monday. There was also juggling and other entertainments in the courtyard.

The castle's General Manager, David Littlewood said, “I always look forward to Easter as it is the first time we welcome visitors for the new season. The atmosphere is always wonderfully relaxed with families exploring the grounds looking for the clues. "This weekend was no exception, and with the sunny weather our visitors all seemed to have a lovely day. As Easter was so late this year we are now busy planning for the Chilli Festival which is less than 2 weeks away on May 4 and May 5."

He added: "With more stalls and activities and of course a lot more loos and bins this year this should be an exceptional weekend."
