Get the kids egg-cited for Easter!

The fun begins on Sunday (April 1) at Wrest Park with an Easter egg trail for the whole family to enjoy. Children can search the grounds for clues to complete the trail, and find the missing eggs for a delicious chocolaty treat at the end.

There is plenty of space for children to play, plus a café and exhibition centre for the adults. The trail runs until April 15 and is open from 11am until 5pm daily.

For a more educational experience – or in case the sun doesn’t shine – perhaps a visit to Stockwood Discovery Centre is what your kids need.

Their brand new DinoMites - The A-Z of Dinosaurs exhibition opens today (March 29) and runs right through until November.

The exciting new display features a range of dinosaurs and gives an insight into the life cycles of smaller species from birth to death.

Stockwood will host another event over the break – the annual Easter weekend country fair. Enjoy a taste of the country on April 8 and 9, with activities such as rural life demonstrations, an animal petting farm, farmers’ market stalls and a bouncy castle.

There will also be plenty of craft, charity and gift stalls.

You can’t forget that Spring is in full swing and if nothing else appeals then a walk along the River Lea in the sunshine is bliss.

The Brooks and Blossom Guided Walk takes place on Sunday April 15 leaving from the Bide-a-While garden at 10am. It follows the riverside letting you admire kingfishers and herons, while the apples and cherries come into flower.

For those rainy days local libraries will be holding readings from Emily Gravett’s stories, suitable for a range of ages. Check your local library for more details.

The Zombie Feltie Keyring Workshop takes place on April 3 at Luton Central Library where children can make their very own gruesome felt zombie keyring.

The workshop is for 11 to 15-year-olds and must be pre-booked. Tickets are £5, including materials.

For more drama, Luton Library Theatre are presenting The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.

The production takes place on Friday April 13 at 2:30pm and costs £5.50 plus one accompanying adult for free.

Two final activities fall just after the Easter break but are sure to be great fun for youngsters on the weekend.

With St George’s Day just around the corner, Wardown Park Museum is offering an insight into the history of England’s patron saint on April 21.
