From theatre performances and outdoor adventures, to creative workshops, there is something for everyone.

Here’s a brief summary of activities in the county over the half-term break, supplied by Shropshire Council.

Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery is offering a 'Roots & Shoots' children's printing workshop.

This drop-in printing session on Friday, 31 May, has been inspired by the Peter Rabbit Storytime Trail and is suitable for children above the age of two.

The workshop costs £4, payable on the day.

Moreover, the museum and art gallery is showcasing an exhibition celebrating Shrewsbury town crier, Martin Wood, and his 40-year career.

There is a free talk on Edward I and Shrewsbury, an LGBTQ+ family drop-in session, and a 'Mighty Knights' trail in the grounds of Shrewsbury Castle grounds.

At the Severn Valley Country Park, children can help provide birds with a cosy home.

The park is offering the opportunity to make bird boxes on May 29 from 11am to 12.30pm.

Participants can join the country park's ranger and search for the perfect nesting materials to make a comfortable home for birds.

Bird box building costs £12 per child while accompanying adults are free.
