Things to do over the Easter Weekend

The weather is looking much better for the Easter weekend, I have had quite a few messages about things to do over the Easter weekend with the weather being nice so I thought I would pop my ideas into this post.

Please do remember I am not in charge of the weather. These links (underlined) will take you to a previous blog post on this website.

Ideas

🐣Easter Egg Hunts - You can find everything you need in this post

🐇Our Huge Easter Guide contains lots of lovely ideas

🐣Go for a walk in Sunderland

🐇Go on a sculpture Trail

🐣Head along to the beach and build an epic sandcastle. See if you can find some seaglass

🐇Head to the forest and go on the Superworm Hunt. Currently Kielder, Hamsterley, Guisborough and Dalby all have the Trail

🐇Head along to Redcar & Cleveland. There's loads to do.

🐣Take a walk amongst the plants at The Alnwick Gardens. They also have an Easter Trail on.
