With the Easter holidays getting closer, many Easter themed events and activities are taking place in Birmingham in the coming weeks.
Children are set to have two weeks off, as they come to the end of the penultimate school term. This year, Easter is on Sunday, March 31. After a very short term, schools will break up for Easter by Thursday March 28, ahead of Good Friday on March 29.
And with the holidays on the horizon, many parents will now be starting think of ways to keep their little ones entertained for more than two weeks.
We've decided to round-up some of the very best things to do in Birmingham this Easter no matter the age of your children. Let's take a look at some of the best:
