Not sure what Easter family activities in the UK are happening this weekend? I don’t know if anyone’s noticed, but it’s Easter this weekend, which for most people means spending time with friends and family, relaxing and enjoying a break. I’m one of those people that if the weather is nice is quite happy sitting in the garden with a book and a glass of something cold, however if you’re a bit more adventurous than I am and actually fancy getting out and about over the bank holiday, let me share with you a few ideas of places to go that might keep you and the family entertained………

Drusilla’s Park, Alfriston, East Sussex
For a fantastic family day out, look no further than Drusilla’s park – proud to present what is commonly believed to be the best small zoo in England, Drusilla’s has a huge range of animals for you to learn about and get involved with – see them being fed and played with – you could even be a zookeeper for a day! Drusilla’s is also host to several large play and activity areas for kids of all ages, Thomas The Tank Engine World, the interactive Eden’s Eye maze and opening on the 18th May Drusilla’s is delighted to share with you Hello Kitty world!
