With schools being shut for two weeks for Easter holidays, parents might be wondering how to keep their children entertained and occupied.
Fortunately, Birmingham has loads to do during the holidays from April 3 to 14 that won’t cost them any money. From science museums to art galleries and arts and crafts activities - there are many family-friendly attractions in the city. These activities are great for challenging your children creatively and intellectually and also building social skills.
It’s a jam-packed programme during the two weeks. From home activities on Bring it on Brum to parks, egg hunts and more - you won’t have to stress about finding things for your kids to do.
So, BirminghamWorld has curated a list of eight things to do in and around Birmingham this Easter:

B:Music has several free performances throughout the year but booking is necessary for them. Some of the free performances include, Tabla player Dal Singh performing live on April 11, Juniper Folk on April 13, and Free Jazz Friday on April 14. (Photo - Google Maps) | Google maps
