Black Country Living Museum

It’s all about welcoming in the Spring in the traditional way at the Black Country Living Museum this Easter. The historic characters around the site are preparing for springtime. They’re making puddings, buying clothes and spring cleaning. It’s all go! The museum’s gardens are in full bloom as well, and there’s an activity trail to learn more about the plants. Look out for museum favourites like street games, the underground mine and their famous chippy. Find out more about the event on the Black Country Museum website. The event runs from 1st to 16th April 2023. You can also read my tips for a family day out at the Black Country Living Museum.

Cadbury World

The Cadbury’s Parrot is on a swashbuckling adventure, searching for a golden egg in a live stage show this Easter. Look out for jokes, sea shanties and plenty of family fun. The event takes place from 1st to 16th April 2023 and during Easter weekend from 7th to 10th April, the Easter Bunny will be visiting. He’ll be bringing an Easter trail with a prize at the end for everyone who takes part. Children who wear their Easter bonnets will be able to take part in a parade at 2pm. Find out more about the event and other things to do at Cadbury World on their website. You can also read my review of a family day out at Cadbury World.

Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust

It’s all aboard for Wonderland at the Dudley Canal and Tunnel Trust this Easter break. Alice and her friends from the Lewis Carroll novel are on hand to entertain guests and create a magical experience from 7th to 10th April 2023. Journey through the caverns and tunnels looking for hidden Easter eggs to try and win a prize. Boats leave every half an hour from 10.30am to 4pm and pre-booking is essential. Top off your visit with a Mad Hatter’s tea party in the Gongoozler restaurant. Sandwiches, scones, cakes, cream, jam, jam tarts and tea, coffee or soft drinks will be served. Head to the Canal and Tunnel Trust website for full details and prices.

Legoland Discovery Centre

There doesn’t seem to be a specific event happening at the Legoland Discovery Centre for West Midlands Easter holidays 2023. However, visitors booking a standard play session can enjoy the ultimate indoor lego experience. Create a masterpiece at a build station, check out the mini Midlands, have fun in soft play and take advantage of the 4D cinema and two rides.

National Sea Life Centre West Midlands Easter holidays 2023

The National Sea Life Centre Peppa Pig event will be in full swing during the West Midlands Easter holidays 2023. Younger visitors will love the interactive trail where they can help Peppa spot seahorses, learn about sharks, count starfish and enjoy activities. Make a bracelet, do a jigsaw and meet Peppa herself. There’s even a reward for everyone who completes the trail. Full details are on their website and you can read my review of a day out at the National Sea Life Centre. They advise booking in advance due to popularity of the attraction and are now a cashless site so remember to bring a card for any purchases you wish to make.

There’s an easter egg hunt in the garden, Easter crafts and garden games. Head inside the museum to dress up in period costumes or complete a family trail.
