Overview

This Easter Saturday, join us for an 8.5 mile stroll through the scenic streets and countryside surrounding Basingstoke, all in search of the one and only Easter Bunny as he prepares for his big day on Easter Sunday! We’ll begin at Basingstoke Train Station and head off on a fun-filled adventure.

Our route takes us through Houndmills, past the iconic Basingstoke Hospital, and into the picturesque village of Wootton St Lawrence. Keep your eyes peeled as we pass through Worting Wood, a prime spot where the Easter Bunny might be busy getting ready for the egg hunt, or even hiding a few special treats along the way!

After a little break for bunny spotting, we’ll continue our journey through Winklebury, before looping back to the station, ready to kick off your Easter weekend in style. Whether you're looking for a relaxing walk or hoping to catch a glimpse of some Easter magic, this is the perfect way to celebrate.

Bring: Water, lunch, wear sensible walking shoes — and your bunny-hunting spirit!

Don’t forget your Easter spirit (bunny ears encouraged)! It's a perfect way to spend your Easter Saturday with great company, fresh air, and a fun bunny hunt adventure.
