And holidays on the horizon, many parents will now be starting think of ways to keep their little ones entertained for more than two weeks.
From feeding lambs and Easter crafts, to an array of Easter egg hunts, there is plenty to do in Northamptonshire no matter the age of your children or you budget.

Running from March 29 - April 14, the garden centre has an epic Easter egg trail.
