The first activity to kick start the 2017 season at Bowhill is its Hot Cross Bun Fun Run on Saturday, April 8. Earn a medal and work up an appetite for a chocolate egg or hot cross bun after completing a 5K or one mile course through the picturesque country surroundings.

Families can fully immerse themselves in the theme as Easter fancy dress is highly encouraged - all lambs, chicks and bunnies welcome.
