Easter school holidays 2021: activities and outings for kids and families in Derbyshire

Traditional Easter pursuits such as egg hunting in parks or bonnet parades in village halls may be off the cards this year because of Covid but families can still have fun over the holidays.

Visitor attractions are throwing open their gates to welcome families back after lockdown as schools break up for a fortnight on April 2.

From exploring the grounds of a castle to riding high on a cable car, looking at cute farm animals to experiencing thrills on a theme park ride, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained.

Wrap up warmly over the Easter weekend as it looks like being chillier than normal for the time of year, according to weather forecasters.
