Spark your curiosity and celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Periodic Table at Jodrell Bank


Visit Jodrell Bank, a world-leading deep space observatory in the heart of Cheshire, and join them in a special celebration for the 150th anniversary of

Their brand new live science show, It’s Elemental, will surprise and excite you with the everyday elements you encounter. Expect live experiments, interactive demonstrations, and lots of loud bangs! There’s plenty of other activities going on throughout the Easter holidays including fun and interactive sessions for the under 7s, Telescope Walking Tours, Meet the Expert Q&As and Bee Backpack Trails!

Easter antics at Ness Botanic Gardens


Adventure down to Ness this Easter, where there’s lots going on. Design mum a special card for Mother’s Day and don’t forget to bring her back, as all mum’s go free to the gardens on Mother’s Day. New for 2019 is the Very Hungry Rabbit Trail – follow the interactive trail to find what the mischievous rabbit has been up to in the garden – can you spot him? And, if you want to get creative, design a potato head person with real grass seed for hair to take away and watch the hair grow! W: www.liverpool.ac.uk/ness-gardens/whats-on/events-ness
