Those who enjoy medieval mischief will love the Costumed Character sessions, packed with games, stickers and fun. Dino‑fans can get stuck into Discovery Detectives: Kids Club, where prehistoric creatures inspire crafts, quizzes, games and trails.
Over at the Natural History Museum, families can follow a fun Easter Trail, explore the brilliant Fossil Day with expert talks and fossil handling, or bring little ones (5 and under) to Roars & Rhymes for gentle storytelling, songs and dino‑themed play.
Plus—launching over Easter weekend—Hollytrees Museum unveils Discover, a brand‑new exhibition promising something very BIG. Expect the unexpected and keep an eye on the Colchester Museums website for the exciting reveal!
