Events in city parks during school holidays

School holidays last until Monday, April 20, so now that the Easter Weekend is over how do you keep youngsters amused?

There’s still plenty going on in the city including at its parks – Hartsholme, Boultham and the Arboretum.

These are great to explore on any day, but a series of hand-on events have been organised by park rangers for families to enjoy together.

Each activity encourages children to learn new skills, explore nature and get creative in a relaxed outdoor setting, making them ideal for families looking to keep busy during the school holidays.
