Easter things to do in Staffordshire
Our theme parks will be full of egg-citement this Easter, with new attractions, great live shows, and loads more to enjoy!
At Alton Towers, check out the terrifying new Dungeon if you dare, or the new Peter Rabbit ride which opens in March.
The Teletubbies bring their unique live show to CBeebies Land from April, and there's plenty of other family fun attractions to help you have an unforgettable day out with the kids.
Make more memories at Drayton Manor Park's Egg-cellent Easter, where you can tackle over 100 rides and attractions, meet Thomas and Friends at Thomas Land, and hear fascinating keeper talks in the zoo - not to mention the Easter Egg Trail and Polperro Easter Egg Hunt!
Join Alice, The Queen of Hearts, The White Rabbit and others at Churnet Valley Railway's Mad Hatter's Tea Party, featuring specially designed trains, themed treats, balloon artists, and the Humpty Dumpty Easter Egg Hunt on selected dates from 15th-22nd April.
And another well-loved children's character, Stick Man, will be having a woodland adventure at the National Memorial Arboretum. Grab a map and take on the new Stick Man Outdoor Trail, exploring the grounds and woods as you help him get back to his family tree.
Follow the clues and find the hidden word at Trentham Monkey Forest, where there will also be events hosted by Staffordshire Wildlife Trust, the RSPB and others during the Easter holidays, and face painting at the weekends (additional charges apply).
Things to do on Easter for adults
There's a huge choice of days out for adults over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend too.
New for 2019 is the Easter Motor Show at Weston Park, where classic vintage and modern vehicles will create a petrolheads' paradise, and there will be food and drink stands, craft tents, and children's entertainment.
A more spiritual experience awaits at Lichfield Cathedral, where a host of services observe the traditional importance of Easter, and Tower Tours reward those who climb the 160 steps of the central spire with magnificent, uplifting views.
You can shop til you drop across Staffordshire over the Bank Holiday Weekend, with a host of Easter markets including the Bank Holiday Market & Car Boot Sale at Penkridge Market, and farmers markets in the historic towns of Newcastle-under-Lyme and Leek too.
For the green-fingered, the fun comes from the Plant Hunters Fair at the Dorothy Clive Garden, with thousands of plants to choose from, and stalls from award-winning nurseries to peruse.
Dig out your leg-warmers and go back to the 80s at the Regent Theatre, which will be home to Fame:The Musical all week.
Or why not enjoy a hearty treat at the Goldstone Hall Hotel, where the Easter lunch offers a four-course menu to choose from, plus additional delicious desserts and an impressive wine list to wash them down with?
