Up with the lark
Sunday 3 April 6am - 7.30am Always worth making the effort to start amid the spring clamour - last year we saw a badger too! A very gentle amble through the young woods, listening to the calls from blackcap, chiffchaff, coat tit, green woodpecker and discovering territories. A short hike up the hill to be rewarded with coffee, hot chocolate and croissants as the sun comes up and the skylarks rise. I think it's my favourite event! £6 per person aged 8 to adult Cherry Garden Road, Eastbourne Later with larks

Enjoy elevenses of coffee, hot chocolate and croissants on the downs, with the larks pouring their song. £6 per person aged 8 to adult Cherry Garden Road, Eastbourne Easter bunnies
