8 Egg-cellent Family-Friendly Activities for the Easter Holidays

The Manchester Easter Holidays are coming up and we know our families are always on the lookout for fun things to do to fill their days. To help you out, we’ve done a quick round up of 8 activities the whole family can join in with here at Z-arts!

Our brand new interactive world of play and storytelling, made with author and illustrator Rob Biddulph and Discover Story Centre, opened last month and is already incredibly popular! The 100 Story Hotel has all sorts of interesting and odd guests to stay, but one of the 100 amazing stories has gone missing! Can you follow the clues and help track it down? Learn more.
