About

Enjoy the Easter holidays at Fort Nelson, where there will be a free Spring trail and Easter Egg hunt that all the family can enjoy.

Little explorers can hunt for trail boards full of exciting facts, with puzzles for younger visitors to solve around the Victorian fort.

Then, youngsters can discover their Easter bunny name, take a picture on the Spring bench, and search for cut-out Easter Eggs hidden throughout Fort Nelson.

The free activities will take place daily between 28 March and 12 April, from 10am to 5pm. Please note the eggs are cut-outs and not chocolate Easter Eggs.

Tickets need to be booked in advance online at royalarmouries.org. This is the only way to guarantee your visit due to visitor capacity limits on site.

Fort Nelson is home to the Royal Armouries national collection of artillery so visitors will be able to discover the collection during their visit. The café will also be open for snacks and light refreshments.
