Head to Elizabeth Gaskell’s House this Easter for a relaxed day of family fun, creativity and exploring.

Follow one of two children’s trails around the house, with easy and harder options to suit all ages. As you explore from room to room, collect ideas and inspiration before heading to the Servants’ Hall to make your own book to take home.

There’s also dressing-up throughout the house and a cosy Tea Room serving hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows.

Kids go free, with adult tickets from £9. Open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. Booking recommended.
