The National Museum of Rural Life has three days of springtime surprises planned this Easter which it has called #SpringintoEaster.
The weekend will include the following attractions:
Saturday 31 March
Storytelling fun, from a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in the museum to Beatrix Potter-inspired tales in the kitchen garden
Sunday 1 April
Meet the Easter Bunny, see real rabbits, go on an Easter trail, make some Easter crafts and get guerrilla gardening!
Monday 2 April
Lambs, calves, chicks and some unusual spring animals, from skunks to hedgehogs.
The Museum is open daily: 10:00-17:00 and only closes on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day and is located at Wester Kittochside, Philipshill Road, East Kilbride, G76 9HR, little over an hour’s drive from any of our self-catering holiday cottages.
Discover how 300 years of farming and rural home life have shaped and altered Scotland’s countryside. Tour the period farmhouse for a sense of what living on a farm was really like more than 50 years ago, and meet the animals on the historic working farm: Ayrshire cows, Tamworth pigs, Scots dumpy hens, black-faced sheep and Clydesdale horses.
