About
Have fun and help the planet this Easter. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint, so we'll be using the best activities from our archives, reducing our consumption of new materials by about 80%.
Join in with a range of family-friendly make-and-take activities, hear about the journey our food goes on in What’s for Dinner, see a live science show and more.
We will be holding relaxed performances of our science shows over Easter, and on Tuesday 4 April a range of activities will have a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter. See below for more information.
