Join the fun this May Half Term and help us to celebrate Oak Apple Day by helping the Whitgreave family to get to King Charles II's birthday party! Saturday 23rd May to Sunday 31st May.

King Charles II is throwing a magnificent party to celebrate his birthday and his return to the throne, and he wants the brave Whitgreave family to join him. But disaster has struck - the Royal Messenger dropped the invitation, and the wind blew it into seven pieces which are hidden around the gardens.

Can you search the grounds, find the missing parts, and fill in the blanks so the family knows when and where the big celebration will be?

Trails can be purchased from Visitor Reception for 50p, with a sticker prize at the end.
