Come and join in all the family fun over Easter at
the Albert Dock. We have a programme of street entertainment and
Easter themed fun for all the family, the Albert Dock's
resident Dixieland Jazz Men, The Savoy Jazz Band, will be
performing across the Albert Dock on Easter Sunday.
Join in the fun of our Easter Egg Hunt! Albert Dock Company has
teamed up with Quay Confectionary to launch their 2008 Easter Egg
Hunt from 1pm till 4 pm on March 15th, 16th
22nd & 23rd. There is also a free prize
draw for an 'Eggceptionally' large Easter Egg, donated by
Quay Confectionery.
On Saturday and Sunday 22nd and 23rd of March
the Dock will be alive with the pitter-patter of giant bunny feet
as the Easter Bunny arrives in style, bringing the fun and
merriment of spring with him. Albert Dock Company has also
commissioned face painters to transform your little ones into any
character of their choice, all for free!
All of the attractions at the Dock will be alive with loads of free
Easter holiday family fun, offering interactive workshops and
performances. Tate Liverpool has an exciting Easter holiday
workshop exploring the colourful work of Niki de Saint Phalle,
while the International Slavery Museum is holding performances of
Destination Freedom, based upon the true story of William and Ellen
Craft. Merseyside Maritime Museum is bringing to life the tales
from the Titanic - The Quartermaster's Story Robert Hichins was
at the wheel when the Titanic hit the Iceberg or you can enjoy the
storytelling of The leaving of Liverpool. Over at the Customs and
Excise Museum you can discover how Customs protect the environment
and make your own eco-friendly vehicle to show off to your mates!
The Beatles Story will be holding their annual programme of Easter
events, with the 'I Am The Eggman' trail running throughout
the Easter holiday period (15th March - 6th
April).
Visitors to the Beatles Story can complete a fun quiz based around
the exhibition with a chance for all the family to win some amazing
prizes. There's something for everyone with the questions being
split into 'soft boiled' (aged 5-11), 'medium
boiled' (aged 11+) and 'hard boiled' (adults and
Beatles experts!).
The Beatles Story will also be running an exciting series of
children's workshops, which will take place on the last two
weekends (22nd/23rd and
29th/30th) of March. Based around the ever
popular 'Sgt Pepper' album, children will get the
opportunity to design and make their own special 'Sgt
Pepper' album cover using pictures of their own heroes. All
children's workshops are free of charge to Beatles Story
visitors on a first come first served basis.
Don't forget to stock up on Easter goodies at
the Albert Dock's sweet shop, Quay Confectionery. From organic
chocolate bunnies to traditional sugar mice and choco hedgehogs -
you're guaranteed to find something tasty!
