Fun awaits this Easter at the children's fair

Hunt hidden eggs for a chocolate surprise

Come and join us for our annual Easter Egg Hunt at Dinton Activity Centre from 28 March to 12 April, from 9am to 4pm. 

This fun-filled adventure involves searching for hidden eggs along a 2km trail amongst beautiful surroundings at Dinton Pastures Country Park. Keep a look out for clues which will lead you to a delicious chocolate treat.

You can pay on the day at the Activity Centre's reception or book online.

Experience the magic of a Glow Paddle 

Come and paddle under the enchanting glow of the moon on Black Swan Lake at Dinton Pastures on Saturday 28 March from 5pm to 7pm.

Our Glow Paddle evening is a magnificent experience and you can bring glow sticks, torches and fairy lights to light up the night.

It’s the perfect way to enjoy the peaceful beauty of the water while adding a touch of sparkle to your evening. 

Adult tickets cost £30 and a child's ticket (age eight and over) cost £20. 

Tickets include a buoyancy aid, glow sticks and craft. If you have your own craft, you can bring your own. 

When you return to shore, you will be greeted with a hot drink and sweet treat. 

Activity centre membership could be for you

We’ve been looking for a way to help residents get outdoors more, stay active and make the most of everything Dinton has to offer.

These memberships offer more adventure, better value and more reasons to enjoy Dinton all year round.

Following our recent consultation meetings with the public, we will soon be able to release details of the offering available to both single members and families.

If you’re curious, we’d love to help you find out more.
