The Big Brick Build Selected English Heritage venues & dates between Mar 29 and Apr 14 This year, English Heritage's Big Brick Build events will run across seven locations nationwide. Children aged four and over can build their own piece of history from Lego bricks, which will form part of a new artwork.
Whether it's a mini Elizabethan Garden at Kenilworth Castle, Warwickshire, the stables at Audley End, Essex or a life-size version of Queen Victoria at Osborne, Isle of Wight, kids can get busy, while master builders pull all the pieces together to form the final collaborative masterpiece.
Last year, participants made a giant model of Stonehenge out of 400,000 Lego bricks. This Easter's aim is to help make a Lego brick mosaic of Stonehenge.
Treemendous Woodland Olympics and Easter Trail Newby Hall & Gardens, Ripon, North Yorkshire, Mar 31 and Apr 1 Fairytale folk will entertain the children over Easter with a theatrical family adventure bringing the woodland Olympics to life.
While some cheeky creatures may try to distract them, all young Olympians will have the chance to be a woodland medal winner by finding the fairies hidden among the trees on this enjoyable trail. There's also an Easter show for two-to-eightyear-olds on both days, with Story Craft Theatre.
