Britain's What's On Event Guide
Easter fun at the National Forest Adventure Farm
Baby chicks, calves, kid goats, mules and lambs are bringing a burst of new life to a popular Staffordshire family farm park as it unveils its Easter Eggstravaganza festival of fun.
The National Forest Adventure Farm, in Tatenhill, will be launching its Easter Eggstravaganza on Friday 11th April with an Easter themed woodland trail, Lambing Live and Spring themed shows, including the fabulous children’s entertainer ‘just Josh’ with his comedy magic, juggling and all round high energy daftness, to mark the reopening of Mega Slide Mountain – the UK’s longest outdoor mega slide.
The Mega Slide Mountain, which sits on a 30ft hill next to the animal paddocks has been closed for winter, so Easter will be the first time in 2025 that visitors can take on the 200ft long slide which sees visitors reach speeds of up to 12mph.
Easter Eggstravaganza, which will run from Friday 11th to Friday 25th April, is the only time that the farm’s woodland area, which was created in 2002 as part of its commitment to the National Forest, is available to the public.
Each year it is opened in Spring to allow guests the chance to wander the woodland trail in search of the Easter Bunny’s home nestled within the 28,000 trees planted on the site.
More than 200 lambs, chicks and pygmy goats are due to be born during the event with the Lambing Live Tent giving guests the chance to feed the new lambs and possibly even see a Spring lamb being born with the return of the 24hour ‘Ewe’ Tube live streaming.
Just Josh (Benson) will be entertaining on the main stage. One of the most sought-after family entertainers in the UK, he has twice won the York Little Vikings Award for Best Birthday Party Entertainer and been nominated for Best Comic in the UK Pantomime Association’s annual awards. A self proclaimed ‘premier provider of daft comedy chaos’, his act features a mixture of high energy magic, juggling, balloonology and general silly antics.
