Truro City Council is delighted to announce the return of its popular Easter Trail this spring, taking place throughout the Easter holidays across two locations for 2026, as part of the Council’s annual events programme.
Running from Friday 3rd April (Good Friday) to Sunday 19th April 2026, the free, self-led trail invites residents and visitors to explore Victoria Gardens and Boscawen Park by following clues to find hidden letters which uncover a special Easter phrase.
Adding to the fun, children’s entertainer Jules the Ventriloquist will once again return to Victoria Gardens, bringing lively, family-friendly performances on Saturday 4th April, Saturday 11th April and Saturday 18th April.
New for 2026, the Easter Trail will also expand to include a second location at Boscawen Park. The additional trail is being delivered with support from the team at Café in the Park, giving families even more opportunity to take part in the Easter fun.
Each location will facilitate its own separate trail. The Victoria Gardens Easter Trail features hidden bunnies, while the Boscawen Park Easter Trail will use hidden signs with letters to spell out a special Easter phrase.
Mayor of Truro, Councillor Chris Wells, said: “I am pleased the Council is able to once again offer this fun and free activity for Truro’s residents of all ages to enjoy over the Easter holidays. After a very wet winter, it will be great to see everyone out enjoying the sunnier spring weather, hopefully!”
