From craft making to chocolates and magical entertainment, Spring Discoveries offers the perfect family day out over the Easter holidays – and even better, it’s free to visit!”

Spring Discoveries activities will run between 1 April and 17 April as follows:

On selected days there will be a balloon artist creating flowers and headbands in this area too.

There will be a grand 8ft oak tree, and benches for families to sit back and enjoy the sounds of birdsong. Look out for the hidden spring animals and…a magical unicorn too!

• Magical story characters will make an appearance around the centre at intervals throughout the day, and a caricaturist will draw pictures of visitors, on a floral background to take home and frame.
