Easter Holiday Children's Activities

Two children with crafts they have created - a mini garden and a pinwheel


Once again we have a brilliant range of free activities to keep your kids entertained over the Easter holidays!

Our theme for this quarter is "Outdoors", so we have lots of opportunities to get crafty both indoors and out (weather permitting).

Please note that all our libraries are closed on Friday 3 April, Saturday 4 April, Sunday 5 April and Monday 6 April. For our regular staff training closures, please visit our website.
