THERE is so much going on in Conwy and Denbighshire this Easter that it is hard to know where to start.

Take advantage of that extra hour of daylight and start planning your activities. Take your pick from Easter hunts - including a 'dragon egg' hunt! - enjoy entertainment from stilt walking bunnies, take a ride on a miniature train or enjoy the 'taste of the deep' at the SeaQuarium in Rhyl.

Between Friday, March 30 and Monday, April 2, Gwrych Castle, which overlooks Abergele, is hosting a Easter Dragon Egg Hunt.

'Lord Thomas', aged six, has lost his pet dragon who has escaped and laid eggs around the castle. Little ones can help the 'lord' find the treasured eggs and explored muddy woodlands and nature trails.

Dr Mark Baker, chairman/founder of Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust, said: "Beware! The dragon and its mischievous keeper are on the loose.

"Everyone will be rewarded with a delicious treat at the end of the Dragon Egg Hunt.

"You will have an hour to complete your quest to claim you reward before the dragon returns."

For further information, visit Gwrych Castle Preservation Trust on Facebook.

The castle is also promoting responsible rabbit care with their 'Meet the Bunny' event on Friday and Saturday.

A spokesperson for Bodelwyddan Castle and Park said: "Rabbits make amazing house pets, but are a long term commitment and not cheap and sadly many are abandoned especially at this time of year.

"It is a bit like a dog is for life, not just Christmas. Same with bunnies.

"William T Rabbit will be in residence here at the Castle, with eggs and craft sheets for his visitors and I will be talking to them about his care."

Each visitor is being asked to donate £1 to see William. This will go towards supporting conservation and education work.

The site's annual complimentary bunny trail (for younger visitors) and Sir Kyffin Williams' Staircase Hall will be opening. Bodelwyddan Castle's new 2018 exhibition 'From Civilian to Combatant' is also due to open shortly.
