Spring into Easter Adventures and Family Fun in Yorkshire

Have you ever wondered why some family holidays feel magical?


Most parents struggle to find the perfect balance...


The Yorkshire Dales transforms into a wonderland of new beginnings in spring. Lambs frolic in emerald fields, daffodils dance in gentle breezes, and families discover the joy of quality time together at Kiplin Lodge Park.



Why Easter in Yorkshire Creates Lasting Memories


Remember when holidays meant pure excitement?


Children today experience fewer outdoor adventures than previous generations. A study found that modern kids spend 4 hours a week playing outside compared to 8.2 hours for their parents' generation.


That's precisely why Easter breaks matter.


At Kiplin Lodge Park, we've seen countless families reconnect through simple pleasures:


  • Morning walks through dewy fields
  • Afternoon picnics by babbling brooks
  • Evening hot tub sessions under starlit skies


The magic happens when devices are forgotten, and conversations flow naturally.

Want to know what makes Easter special here?


The Yorkshire Dales burst with family adventures during Easter week, including wildlife spotting. Our guests love these nearby activities:


  • Forbidden Corner Adventures: This quirky labyrinth of tunnels, chambers and surprises delights children of all ages. With its magical gardens, mysterious follies and unique sculptures, it creates an unforgettable adventure playground that sparks imagination. The extended opening hours during Easter make it perfect for a full day of exploration.


  • Thirsk Birds of Prey Centre is a fantastic day out where families can witness magnificent birds of prey in action. During Easter, the centre offers special handling experiences and educational talks. Children are mesmerised watching hawks, owls, and eagles soar through the Yorkshire skies.


After a day of exploration, your private hot tub awaits. Parents tell us these warm, bubbling moments create the day's best conversations.


Pet-Friendly Easter Breaks

Did you know dogs experience holiday excitement, too?


We've watched countless four-legged friends arrive at Kiplin, tails wagging with anticipation. Yorkshire offers some of Britain's most pet-welcoming attractions:



  • Aysgarth Falls, which provides spectacular waterfall walks with pet-friendly paths.



Our pet-friendly lodges ensure that no family member is left behind. We provide blankets and dog treats to make your furry friends feel equally pampered.
