What's On

Can you crack the code hidden in our Hobs’ Easter Egg trail?

Our resident household faeries, the Hobs, have hidden eggs all around the house this Easter.

Your challenge is to find the both the Hobs and the eggs and use your code-breaking skills to spell out their secret springtime message using the clues you find.

Open 5 days a week:

• Wednesday 1 April to Sunday 5 April 2026, 10.30am to 5.00pm
• Wednesday 8 April to 12 April 2026, 10.30am to 5.00pm

Free with admission.

Come and see how eighteenth century cooks would have made sweet treats in our historic kitchen this Easter, using real Georgian recipes.

Watch how marzipan was made then moulded and decorated to form different designs like our miniature hedgehogs, or how chocolate and cream were combined with eggs and sugar to make a delicious dessert

Demonstrations will take place from:

• Wednesday 1 April to Sunday 5 April 2026, at 11.30am and 2.30pm
• Wednesday 8 April to Sunday 12 April 2026, at 11.30am and 2.30pm

Free with admission.

This year’s festival will take place between 6 and 10 August 2026. More information is available from the York Georgian Festival web pages.
