Little bunnies will be able to crawl under the garden gate, hide in a watering can, and see their reflection in a mirror pool, just like Peter Rabbit.

See if you can find the Easter pictures the sneaky bunny has hidden around the museum for the Easter Egg Hunt Trail at the RAF Manston History Museum in Ramsgate.

What’s Hatching At The Dockyard take a deep breath and delve into the darkest depths of the oceans this Easter, where mythical sea creatures have laid dozens of mysterious eggs. From the sea serpent to the ziphius your task is to find their nests and learn of their legends before claiming your collectible creature card. Only the bravest explorers will enter the Kraken’s Lair. On arrival, you will be provided with a souvenir map to help guide you on your journey into the deep sea. At Historic Dockyard Chatham.
