Looking for an unforgettable family day out in North Wales? Join us at Gwrych Castle for an exciting Dragon Egg Hunt from 12th – 21st April!
Dewi, our beloved castle dragon, has escaped, leaving her magical eggs hidden throughout the grounds. We need young adventurers to take on the Dragon Quest, solving puzzles and challenges to help bring Dewi home. Along the way, you’ll meet medieval castle residents who need your help before it’s too late!
What’s Included in the Dragon Egg Hunt?
• Meet medieval characters who will guide you on your quest
• Solve fun puzzles, riddles, and challenges to find the dragon’s eggs
• Collect your chocolate treat as a reward for completing the quest
• Get creative in the Dragon’s Lair—design your own dragon or castle
• Take home a Dragon Keeper’s Manual full of fun facts and activities
• Explore the historic castle and gardens with access to the full visitor route
• Fancy dress bonus – wear a costume and earn chocolate gold coins
Who Can Take Part?
The Dragon Egg Hunt is designed for families with children aged 1-15 years. Every paying child will receive a chocolate treat at the end of their quest.
