Easter events in Birmingham to take the kids along to
Just five minutes ago we were getting ready for Christmas and now it is Easter half term! We know these things creep up on you, so we wanted to help you get the kids out of the house over their time off from school. Because, lets face it, being told that they are bored is no way to spend a day…
Birmingham Botanical Gardens
The Botanical Gardens are putting on a whole range of activities that the kids are bound to love over Easter half term. There will be ‘Art from Nature’ days where kids will be encouraged to create their own work of art from natural materials. The venue will also offer opportunities to meet the animals at the gardens, from snails and snakes to frogs and stick insects. On Easter Sunday, the venue will host an Easter egg hunt, chocolate workshops, facepainting and games to get involved in. Find out more here.
Easter Eggstravaganza at Cadbury World
Cadbury World will be hosting a range of events between April 14 and April 17 in celebration of all things chocolate. The kids will be able to take part in daily bonnet competitions, where they will be able to get crafty and creative before joining in a massive Easter egg hunt all around the grounds of the attraction in Bourneville.

Mr Bloom’s Nursery Live
If the kids are big fans of Mr Bloom, they will love this event taking place at the New Alexandra Theatre on April 19. Mr Bloom and the Veggies will bring their first ever live tour to the venue.
