Things to do West Midlands Easter holidays 2024
School Easter holidays are approaching, so it’s time for a list of things to do in the West Midlands. Lots of attractions have Easter events taking place this year and others are reopening after a Winter break.
From Easter egg hunts to celebrations of spring, there’s lots to see and do around the West Midlands. If you’re on a budget, check out my post about free things to do in the West Midlands as well.
This post covers things to do in the West Midlands County area only. If you are looking for Easter days out in nearby counties, please see below:
Black Country Living Museum
There has not yet been an event announced for Easter holidays 2024 at the Black Country Living Museum. However, they are open daily and they often put school holiday events on their website quite late, so it’s worth checking for an update. I have put the link below.

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. 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.
Dates: 29th March to 2nd April 2024.

Legoland Discovery Centre
There doesn’t seem to be a specific event happening at the Legoland Discovery Centre for West Midlands Easter holidays 2024. 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. If you decide to visit the National Sea Life Centre or Cadbury World as well, you can buy a combined ticket online to save money.

I think we will be heading to Warwick Castle at Easter, I love it there. I keep meaning to visit Drayton, I need to add this to our list x
Oh brilliant, we love both of those places. Definitely worth considering staying close by and doing Warwick and Drayton over the course of a couple of days.

Ooh – the Shakespeare workshops sound good! Some excellent things to do here…
Yes they do don’t they? I think I’ll take my girls over to one of those at some point, they do them every school holiday.
