Egg-cellent Easter fun

Easter funWith Easter egg hunts for the kids on a railway or at a guest house, interactive activities at and up to 25 per cent off self-catering accommodation, there’s something for all tastes in Wales this Easter.

The Centre for Alternative Technology is hosting two weeks packed full of grubby Easter activities to entertain kids of all ages.

The programme includes interactive theatre, bug and slug hunts, hands-on workshops and video-kaleidoscope shows, from April 4-19. Adults £8.40 children £4.20, activities 11am-4pm. For more information visit www.cat.org.uk or call 01654 705950.

Join the Easter bunny on the scenic Llanberis Lake Railway, April 10-14. Easter eggs hunts in Llanberis are a little different – all the eggs are cunningly hidden around the railway and various stations. To find them it’s all aboard the narrow gauge steam train; ride past castles, rivers and stunning Snowdonia countryside in your quest to collect the most. And don’t forget to keep your eye out for the white rabbit.

A return journey fare is £6.90 for adults and £4.50 for children. For more information visit www.lake-railway.co.uk or call 01286 870549.

Book a stay at the intimate bed and breakfast Llys Meddyg (Doctor’s Court) in Pembrokeshire over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend and you can take part in an Easter egg hunt on Easter Saturday for free, with a guaranteed egg for every child, followed by complimentary afternoon tea.

The Easter egg hunt will be free to guests; non-residents can join in the fun for £5 per person. Rooms start from £100 per night on a bed and breakfast basis, based on two sharing. Quote EGGHUNT when booking. To book visit www.llysmeddyg.com or call 01239 820008.
