About

Hop, skip and jump over to Hillsborough Castle and Gardens this summer to experience a special Peter Rabbit™ Adventure.

EXPERIENCE A MAGICAL GARDEN TRAIL

See Beatrix Potter’s beloved characters brought to life for the first time at Northern Ireland’s royal residence. Let your imagination roam as you follow a trail through meandering waterways, forests perfect for climbing in, and a walled garden with gardeners much friendlier than Mr McGregor!

As you explore, keep your eyes peeled for our very own wildlife, and get stuck into family-friendly activities celebrating the great outdoors. On Saturdays, you may even be able to catch a glimpse of Peter Rabbit himself and get a special photo!
