Child pointing at egg with letter on as part of the Cutty Sark Easter Egg Trail

Cutty Sark's chickens have got loose and laid their eggs all around the ship – can you find all the hidden eggs? 

Join us at Cutty Sark this Easter weekend (3–6 April) for a fun-filled Easter egg trail the whole family can enjoy! Follow the trail to spot hidden eggs around the ship. Collect the letters on each egg and unscramble the secret nautical code.

Along the way, you’ll discover fascinating facts about Cutty Sark's history and epic voyages. 

Once you've cracked the code, head to the Cutty Sark café under the hull to claim your chocolatey treat – a little reward to top off your Easter adventure, courtesy of Mars.

This activity is open to everyone but ideal for young explorers aged 5+, and it's a great way to make the most of your visit to this world-famous ship.
