Following last year’s success, one of Ireland’s largest Easter Egg Hunts returns from Thursday, April 2nd to Monday, April 6th, with an incredible 12,000 chocolate Easter eggs waiting to be claimed.

Easter festival 2026
“The Easter Bunny’s Big Suprise” 
 
Something very special has happened this year at Secret Valley! The Easter Bunny has arrived early!
 
He loved the place so much that he’s decided to create his very own mini farm at the park – bringing his furry friends with him, such as rabbits, chicks and goats!
 
However he has one problem…
 
The grumpy farmer has decided he wants ALL the Easter eggs for himself.. So the Easter Bunny and his friends have moved them to his new Easter village for safe keeping.
 
You must follow the trail, complete the Easter Bunny farm work check-list and meet the bunny himself to get a special thank you surprise!
Enjoy a fun-filled Easter experience with hands-on animal encounters, including hand-feeding llamas and alpacas, bottle-feeding baby goats, and meeting Easter chicks. Learn fascinating animal facts during scheduled talks, take part in woodland tasks, help plant the Easter Bunny’s flower garden, meet the Easter Bunny and friends in the Easter Village, hop on the special Easter tractor ride, and finish your adventure with an Easter treat. 🐣🌷🐰

About Us

Caragh Open Farm is a family run Open Farm in Caragh, Naas, Co Kildare. The farm is spread over approx. 5 acres. It was once a working farm but we decided to diversify into the Open Farm as we noticed a gap in the market.  Since opening our doors in June 2011 we have grown from strength to strength increasing our animal numbers to nearly 30 different types.  In July 2021 we opened our Café which can seat up to 30 people. 

As well as the pet farm we offer a lovely scenic walk for the whole family to enjoy.  Family outings are what make childhood memories so don’t forget the camera!  The most frequent compliment we receive is that we are warm, friendly and helpful and that the farm is not over commercialised.
