The Illuminated Cave - Cheddar Gorge and Caves

This Easter, an egg-citing adventure awaits beneath the surface in The Illuminated Cave!

Explorers of all ages will follow a magical trail deep below ground, hunting for clues to uncover the legendary Golden Egg. Along the way, little adventurers will crack a secret code, while older kids and adults discover fascinating facts about the illuminated ancient beasts that once roamed the Earth.

Everyone who "unscrambles" the mystery will be rewarded with a wonderful Easter treat!

And the fun doesn’t stop there—get crafty with Easter-themed arts and crafts, where kids can create their own decorations to take home. Open daily from 10am to 4:30pm, this is an Easter event not to be missed.

This fun and interactive trail will keep the whole family entertained.
Don’t just hunt for eggs—discover a whole new world!
