The Crazy Bear in Stadhampton is hosting an outdoor Easter celebration featuring activities for all ages.
Set in the venue’s Glasshouse, terrace, gardens and woodland, the event promises a relaxed and festive day out in the Oxfordshire countryside.
Archery, axe-throwing and geese herding are among the activities on offer, making it an engaging experience for both adults and children.
Florentina Ionita, Event Sales Coordinator at the Crazy Bear, said: “Easter Sunday should be an easy, unhurried day with family and friends.
“Arrive, find your place in the gardens, and let the day unfold from there.
“We’ve curated a blissful afternoon of activities, seasonal treats and surprises to help families make special memories together.”
Young guests can enjoy an Easter egg hunt, face painting and ice cream while exploring the grounds.
Tickets are priced at £5, with children under 10 admitted free of charge.
The event runs from noon to 5pm on Sunday, April 5.
Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day.
Visitors can expect fire-led cooking from the grill and drinks served well into the evening.
The Oak Restaurant will serve a traditional Easter Sunday lunch, with starters such as ham hock terrine, smoked salmon and wild mushroom arancini.
Main courses include roasted dry-aged sirloin of beef, slow-cooked pork belly and a chestnut and leek nut roast.
The Crazy Bear also offers other dining experiences, including Hom Thai Restaurant, terrace dining and a countryside pub.

Morrisons responds on UK fuel shortages affecting drivers
Within the past week, shadow transport secretary Richard Holden criticised Labour’s “energy failure” amid growing fears of fuel shortages due to the Iran war.
Mr Holden said: “Labour’s energy failure is wrecking the Easter getaway before families have even packed their bags, grounding holidays and sending air fares into the skies.
“As conflict in the Middle East drives jet fuel prices higher, airlines will pass those costs straight on to British families already being hammered by Labour’s hikes to air passenger duty and airport business rates.

“This is the direct consequence of Labour’s net zero obsession, destroying our energy security with real and tangible consequences for people up and down the country.
“Britain is left exposed, families are left paying, and Labour sit on their hands as the dream of a family holiday vanish.”
Earlier this week, there were reports that Tesco in Banbury was out of fuel, while others have said there has been no diesel at several petrol stations in Oxfordshire.
This newspaper has approached several supermarket brands this week to see how Oxfordshire stores’ petrol stations have been affected.

Morrisons was one of those contacted, but informed that MFG owns and operates all of the chain’s fuel stations.
When subsequently contacted, MFG refused to comment at this time.
Sainsbury’s issued a comment, which referred to the stores across the UK as a whole, informing drivers that sites would be resupplied if shortages occurred.
A spokesperson for Sainsbury’s said: “For background, we are actively monitoring stock levels in all locations and continuing to resupply sites where needed.
Tesco and Asda were both also approached for comment, but have yet to respond.
