For this Easter, they will be moving to Adam’s Building and the Rondel Music Pavilion, where they can “hide” with you They will crawl into inconspicuous places and your task will be to find them and record their location on the sheets you will receive at the ticket office before the tour begins. We hope that everyone who takes on the search will succeed in the task, and there will be a small sweet reward waiting for them at the end of the tour.
