Clifton Observatory, Litfield Place, Bristol BS8 3LT | 28th March - 14th April | 10am-5pm

Head to Clifton Observatory for the Giants’ Easter Hunt 2024! Those silly giants have lost their eggs again and need your help to find them all. You will have to search high and low through across all of the attractions, from the top of the tower to deep down at the bottom of the Giant’s Cave, all while learning about Bristol’s infamous giants, Goram and Ghyston. Return all the lost Easter eggs in order to exchange them for an edible prize.

Tickets include full access to the Camera Obscura, Museum, and Giant’s Cave.

£3.50 for kids aged 4-14, and £5.00 for adults
