2 . IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE GEORGIANS COPLESTONE AND THE GRAND TOUR - 4-19 APRIL
Hestercombe has an unusual Easter trail for families this year, which goes back to Georgian times for its inspiration. Different areas of the historic gardens were inspired by the countries across Europe that the Georgians would encounter on their Grand Tour style holidays. Youngsters will enjoy trying to find the garden’s owner and designer, Coplestone Bampfylde, in a Where’s Wally style challenge with a sweet reward at the end of it. Adults may like to visit the exhibition, Coplestone Warre Bampfylde: A Gentleman of Taste, which celebrates his life and includes the largest survey of his artworks and objects ever seen in one place.
Normal admission applies + £2.50 per trail. hestercombe.com
