About this activity

Back by popular demand! Join us for the ‘Great Easter Flint Hunt’ at Henry Moore Studios & Gardens.

This Easter, swap the usual chocolate hunt for an adventure inspired by Henry Moore himself. Step into the sculptor’s shoes and search for flint – the natural material that inspired many of his works throughout our beautiful grounds.

Follow the activity trail sheet to discover the best hunting spots, and don’t hesitate to ask our friendly team for a helping hand along the way. A special reward awaits once you’ve completed your hunt.

Please wear sturdy footwear and dress for the weather.
