Chocolate eggs, two weeks off school and a bank holiday - the Easter holidays are undoubtedly one of the most exciting times of the year for kids. This year’s Easter break is off to a flying start too, with glorious sunshine and a promising weather forecast for the days ahead.
Trying to fill a fortnight with activities to keep the little ones entertained can be tricky though, so we have put together a guide to some of the best family-friendly activities taking place in Liverpool.
Many are free too, so you can enjoy multiple days out without using up all of your Easter holiday fund in one go.
