The Great Ocean Egg-sploration at The Historic Dockyard Chatham in Kent

Running until 19th April.

This Easter, families are invited to take part in The Great Ocean Egg-sploration at The Historic Dockyard Chatham.

A powerful current has swept through the Dockyard, scattering precious ocean eggs belonging to sea creatures featured in the Ocean Photographer of the Year exhibition. Visitors can follow a family-friendly trail around the Dockyard to search for the missing ocean eggs and if they succeed, win a chocolate prize!

Each egg belongs to a different sea creature and reveals a fascinating fact about how that species protects its eggs in the wild.

Eggtastic Easter Fun at Birdland in Gloucestershire

Easter is a wonderful time for a family day out at Birdland in Gloucestershire: the gardens and woodland are bursting into life, many birds are beginning their courtship displays and a host of eggs are due to be laid.

Adding to the fun is the Easter Challenge Quiz. Hunt for hidden eggs around the park as you explore and challenge your knowledge of birds as you try to answer the bird-based questions.

Other fun activities for families over the Easter holidays include Jurassic Journey, the Dino Dig, daily feeding talks and meeting the keepers who look after the park’s wildlife.
