About

Join the fun at Layer Marney Tower on Easter Sunday & Monday. We have a Toddler Easter egg hunt and an egg and spoon race for the speedy and gentle runners. Tickets include a timed trailer ride to see the newborn lambs. There is a children's playground and giant games in the barn. Refreshments, light lunches and cake are available from the tea room or you may like to purchase an ice cream from the gift shop and sit in the gardens, visit the Church, or climb the Tower and enjoy the views.
