Families can get up close to a range of creatures from the creepy-crawly to the cute and fluffy today.

The fun will continue throughout next week with a host of activities taking place each day, including paper marbling, spring hats, Easter window making, egg decorating and tasty seasonal treats served up in the scullery.

Events taking place today run from 11am until 5pm.
