The big sheep has a great selection of activities for families,
from rollercoasters to indoor playgrounds. One of our favourites
has to be the daily live shows, with the sheep racing being a
standout! The Easter Eggstravaganza Festival is an annual
event at the Big Sheep, where thousands of chocolate Easter Eggs
get hidden across the park for children to find as they explore the
attractions. The Easter bunny even makes an appearance at intervals
throughout the day, so make sure you get a photo!

This picturesque coastal village nestles perfectly into the
dramatic cliffs near Hartland. Historical cottages line the quaint
cobbled streets down to the harbour below. During Easter children
receive a village map on entry to Clovelly, this map marks the
location of the Easter chicks perched up and down the cobbled High
Street. Find at least 10 chicks on the route and they can return
the map to the Visitor Centre reception to win an Easter egg.
If they spot all 15 chicks, they win a bigger prize!
