Spring has sprung, and the Easter holidays are here! From Monday 7th April, most of the kids have 2 whole weeks of freedom... plenty of time for chocolate fuelled adventures, egg hunts and action-packed days out. 

Whether you're looking for one off events, creative workshops or outdoor escapades there's no shortage of fun to keep the little ones (and big kids!) entertained. From local hotspots to exciting trips further afield, I've rounded up the best things happening this Easter break! 

Be sure to check our What's On section for the full list of events, and always double-check with event organisers or their websites for the most up-to-date information, as details may change. It’s your go-to guide to make the most of this Easter!

If you're working or just looking for ways to let the kids have some fun and give yourself a little break, you'll find all the info you need in our Holiday Clubs section of the website.
