Top 5 Things to Do in Wales this Easter

 Easter is just around the corner, it won’t be long now. Do you want to have a family fun day out over the holidays? Then check out these 5 ideas:


Easter is fast approaching. The Easter Bunny will soon be here with lots of yummy treats and the children will have 2 weeks off school. Whether you will be in work Monday to Friday or home the whole time with the kids, you will probably want to spend at least one day together on family fun outing. But what’s going on in Wales over the 2 weeks? Anything good? Well, here are our favourite 5 things to do in Wales this Easter:

1. Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo

 Peppa Pig and her brother George are coming to Folly Farm Adventure Park and Zoo this Easter! If your children would like to meet their favourite television character then take them down on the 19th, 20th or 21st of April.

The characters will be appearing at various times throughout the day at no further cost. That means you just have to pay for entrance to the park which is around £10 per person. As well as seeing Peppa Pig take a look at the real animals in the zoo and the farm, jump on one of the many rides in the Carousel Woods or run about in the adventure playgrounds. This is a great day out for all the family.

 2. Dare Valley Country Park

Dare Valley Country Park in Rhondda Cynon Taff has plenty on this April 19th. A day full of active excitement this is one for older children. Have a go on the climbing wall, shoot some arrows in the archery section or take part in a group scavenger hunt and let’s hope the weather is nice for it.

3. Bedwellty House and Park

 If you live near Blaenau Gwent then pop down to Bedwellty House on the 14th April for an Easter Egg-stravaganzer. Between 11am and 3pm the house and park will be home to plenty of Easter crafts for you and the kids to get involved with. And once you’re all cut and stickered out, follow the Easter egg hunt trail around the park and collect your prize of an egg off the Easter Bunny. This is a great bargain day out as taking part is only £3 per child!

4. Cardiff Castle

 If you are looking for a jam packed day out this Easter then head down to Cardiff Castle in the capital on the 19th April. The castle has many activities planned for children and parents including egg and spoon races, egg rolling and a short trail.

 If you’re kids love anything crafty then enter them into one of the colour competitions or sign them up for an egg decorating workshop. Beware however there is a small charge for some of the activities on top of the regular entrance fee.

 5. Pembroke Castle 

 On the 17th April enjoy a teddy bear picnic with all the family amongst the beautiful grounds of Pembroke Castle. This event is aimed at under 5’s so if you have young children take them along with their favourite teddy, a blanket and a yummy picnic.

The events host Professor Panic will fill the day with plenty of songs, games and of course circus tricks. And when the kids are all tired out there will be teddy stories being read for some down time. The gates are open between 11am and 5pm and normal admission fees will apply.

 Do any of these days out sound like fun?
