TrustKids! is celebrating Children's Week by putting on a big treasure hunt at Rippon Lea House and Gardens. As usual National Trust and TrustKids! Members get in for free, though for one day only they're opening the gates for all children so they all get in for free. So tell your friends and come hunt for treasure at Rippon Lea!

Activities: Four different treasure hunt activities both in the mansion and in the gardens
- The Mansion Bear Hunt
- Creature Catcher Animals
- Creature Catcher Clues
- TrustKids! Geocaching

Plus face painting, BBQ and food stalls, boat rides, a balloonologist and 12 acres of garden to explore.

Avoid the queue by pre-booking your tickets!

Supported by the State Government - Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.
