About

A Magical Easter Adventure for Families

Dragon Quest returns to Lotherton in 2026 with an all-new interactive experience designed for young explorers and families. This immersive Easter activity transforms the traditional egg hunt into a mythical journey filled with storytelling, discovery and adventure.

The Mission: Find the Lost Dragon Eggs

During the winter months, the enchanted dragon eggs at Lotherton have begun to lose their magic. Professor Pendragon, a renowned dragonologist, calls upon young adventurers to help restore their power.

Participants take on the role of Junior Dragon Wardens, following an explorer map to locate 12 hidden dragon nests across the estate. Each nest reveals clues and stories linked to dragons from around the world.

• Discover 12 unique dragon nests across Lotherton
• Collect and decipher clues from each location
• Learn about dragon origins from global landscapes
• Help restore the magic of the dragon eggs

Explore Dragons from Around the World

The quest takes participants on a global journey, introducing dragons inspired by diverse regions. From the misty highlands of Wales to the sacred temples of Japan and the icy Arctic tundra, each dragon has its own story and hidden location.

Children are encouraged to engage with the narrative, making the experience both educational and entertaining.

Earn an Official Dragonologist Certificate

Once all 12 eggs have been found and their magic restored, participants can complete their mission at the Explorer’s Basecamp. Successful adventurers will receive an Official Dragonologist Certificate, recognising their achievement and bravery.
