As we come to the end of the Easter holidays, there’s still plenty for the whole family to enjoy in and around Britain’s Ocean City. Here’s our top five suggestions of things to try this weekend.
Take a walk on the wild side
Head to Dartmoor Zoo for a fun day out and meet the huge collection of animals that live there, from wolves and tigers to meerkats and monkeys. The zoo has also recently welcomed the addition of three new exotic bird species to the aviary. Plus there’s a fun Easter Egg trail to follow until Sunday 24 April.
Try axe throwing
Fancy a competitive afternoon trying something new? The Celtic Tossers on Mayflower Street offers an exciting way and surprisingly active way to spend an afternoon. They’ll teach you how to throw an axe and give you a safety briefing before the competition begins!
Learn about fashion in Plymouth
Head to The Box for Plymouth’s first exhibition dedicated to fashion: Dress Code: Fashion Stories from The Box. On display you’ll see a 300 year silk gown, a paper dress from the 1960s and even a stunning handmade latex dress.
Discover more about the Tamar Bridge
Head to the Bridging the Tamar Visitor Centre for free family activities this Saturday – just drop in between 10am to 12pm, or 2pm to 4pm to explore the future of transport and see what might be crossing the bridge in the next 100 years.
Bounce around
If you’re feeling energetic, head on down to Super Tramp Plymouth this weekend and enjoy a fun day out, whatever the weather. There’s more than 50 trampolines to bounce on!
Plymouth is easily accessible by train with a wide range of services running from a variety of locations within England. Although some services may require a change or two.
Travelling from London takes around 3 hours with Great Western Railway, if you're coming from the north, the trip from Manchester can take 5 hours 15 minutes.
Alternatively, the recently renovated Night Riviera Sleeper service runs Monday – Friday and Sunday evenings. Visit gwr.com/sleeper for more details on times and how to book.
We recommend using GWR.com to search for the fastest and best route for your journey, and book in advance for the best price.
