The best things to do with kids this Easter – in London and around the UK
With most schools closing for at least two weeks over Easter, it’s a good opportunity to visit somewhere new in the UK.
Days out can be just as fun for parents as they are for kids, teaching you new things or testing your skills and courage – and there’s the considerable added bonus of not needing to get a flight or faff around with packing the family suitcases.
From Scotland to Cornwall, some of the UK’s most popular tourist attractions organise special events during the Easter holidays (which normally run for two weeks on either side of Easter Sunday, depending on when it falls; this year that’s 31 March). These events include egg hunts, quizzes, trails and theatre performances.
Look carefully and you’ll find that some of these events (often those run by local councils or community organisations) are free of charge. You don’t have to spend a fortune to give the kids a memorable break this Easter.
Booking online in advance and taking your own food and water will also keep costs down
