The charity making life better by water

Standedge Easter Egg Hunt

Starts: 3 April 2026

Ends: 4 April 2026

11am-4pm

Waters Rd, Marsden, Huddersfield, HD7 6NQ

There are eggs aplenty here at Standedge Tunnel!

But before you eat them, we have a challenge for you!

First, egg-hunters must board our floating nest and travel to the Hen House Café to receive instructions on how to find our escaped birds. Some may even have flown into Standedge Tunnel, but don't worry. We have provided a special floating nest for you to search for them.

Successful egg-hunters will be given a special reward. This event is held in partnership with Friends of Standedge & the Huddersfield Canal Society.

Car park by Marsden railway station (HD7 6DQ).

Standedge Tunnel is Britain's longest, deepest and highest canal tunnel, set in stunning surroundings perfect for walks, picnics, nature-spotting and more.
