THE first day of the new season at Cogges Farm Museum in Witney had an Easter theme - with children watching cakes being baked and hunting for hidden eggs.
The museum, saved from the threat of closure, came back to life as it opened its gates for the new season.
Throughout the weekend, Easter activities were on offer to keep young and old visitors amused.
Maids were busy in the Manor House baking Easter treats on the kitchen range, while visitors saw how butter was made in the dairy.
Youngsters followed a 'bunny trail' and looked for clues in the site's extensive grounds.
A new children's farm was also launched, where children can get up close to creatures great and small, including newly-born lambs.
The museum is open from 11am to 5pm today.
