10am to 4pm daily. The Tale of Two Bad Mice comes to life at Hill Top, with little needle-felted mice in various mischievous scenes around the property for you to try and spot. 'Mischief in Miniature' brings to life the nostalgia of Beatrix Potter's tale featuring the mischievous mice, Hunca Munca and Tom Thumb. This enchanting experience is designed to delight visitors of all ages with miniature scenes from the book, along with other 'acts of mischief' that the pair might engage in at Hill Top. As though they have jumped from Beatrix’s pages, tiny mice can be discovered in various nooks and crannies throughout the property, illuminated by small candles and lanterns that add an extra touch of magic to your experience. Free event, normal admission fees apply. Find out more at nationaltrust.org.uk/hill-top.
