A flurry of events for youngsters this Easter

From egg hunts to craft sessions, Kirklees Museums are laying on a raft of activities to keep youngsters entertained during Easter.

Families can visit Oakwell Hall and Country Park between Easter Saturday (April 15) and Bank Holiday Monday (April 17) for an Easter Egg hunt around the walled garden.

To take part in the event, which runs from 12-5pm, pick up a competition form from the visitor centre and return it once you’ve found all the clues.

Correct entries win a mini egg and a two-for-one voucher for entry into Oakwell Hall.

Elsewhere, Bagshaw Museum in Wilton Park, Batley is getting involved with the BBC Get Creative Weekend.

Youngsters are invited to design their own wind chimes on Sunday, April 9.

The idea is to scavenge raw materials in the park and bring them to the museum to make a musical masterpiece.
