Egg-cellent Easter activities this half term
The dock has so much for all the family to enjoy this Easter, with free exhibitions and activities at our museums and galleries, great shopping and menu specials, there’s plenty to keep boredom at bay.
The Great Golden Egg Hunt
During the Easter holidays, keep little ones entertained with an enchanting waterfront egg hunt. Taking place from 3rd-10th April, children can hop around the dock in search of 10 Easter egg window vinyls hidden across the estate. After finding all of the eggs, participants can visit either Roly’s Fudge or The Nest to exchange a completed map for a prize.
