Things to do this week: Stonebridge Easter Market, Dinosaurs At Wollaton Hall, And a Plant Festival!

Morning! Easter week’s here, so it’s family plans, snacks, and a few outdoor bits to take the edge off. This one’s simple, with a handful of solid options that don’t need loads of organising.

This week’s highlights:

• Stonebridge City Farm’s Easter Market for stalls, food, crafts, animals, and an egg hunt

• Wollaton Hall’s Easter Half Term for dinosaurs, hidden tours, and the life sized giraffe

• Woodthorpe’s Festival of Gardening for plants, bees, kids crafts, and the mini beast safari

Two weeks of school holidays and a life sized giraffe staring at you in a museum. There are worse ways to spend a Tuesday.

Egg trails, a Discovering Dinosaurs gallery, and Hidden History Tours into rooms most people never see. Kids go free with a paying adult, which is either generous or a very good read of the situation.
