Paint your own Easter egg

Paint your own Easter egg

Join us this Easter and paint your very own egg for someone special or to enjoy yourself!

Take time to relax, get creative and take part in some seasonal activities in the beautiful Georgian State Room of York Mansion House.

Our delicious, hand-crafted, white chocolate eggs are from fantastic local chocolatier Ashley McCarthy, as seen on Channel 4’s ‘Extreme Chocolate Makers’. We also have a dark chocolate vegan friendly option which is 56% cocoa upon request.

Suitable for all ages (recommended age 5+).

Adults welcome to book for their own egg. Accompanying adults who are not wanting to paint an egg are welcome free of charge.

Hob trail 2023 poster. It states "How many hobs will you find? The big 2023 Hob Hunt. Included in standard admission."

Hobs are little household faeries (old English) that have been haunting Yorkshire homes for centuries. There have been hobs in the Mansion House since it was built in 1725! They are extremely friendly and like to help with the cleaning and the chores... but they also have a mischievous side!

Join us at York Mansion House to help find our little friends and complete some fun Hob-stacles! The Hob Trail is included in admission.

Plan your visit online and find out more about admissions, getting to Mansion House and our opening times.
