As the Easter school holidays beckon, look no further for boredom-busting inspiration, with plenty to discover and do at Royal William Yard. 

   

Activities

Head to the Good Food & Craft market on Sunday 2 April, from 10am to 3pm, for over 70 family-friendly stalls offering everything from brownies and bath bombs, to fudge and falafel wraps. On the green in the open air for the first time this year, the ever-popular market is a great place to peruse a wide range of stalls, while relaxing for a nibble and a natter.   

Kids will love Soapbox Science Plymouth, taking place on the green at the market. Scientists from a variety of disciplines – from crabs and plants, to psychology and engineering – will deliver talks in a fun and accessible way, with interactive presentations, props, and questions welcomed. Soapbox Science is a novel public outreach platform for promoting women and non-binary scientists, giving families the opportunity to enjoy, learn from, heckle, question, probe, interact with, and be inspired by brilliant scientists who love doing what they do!

    This year, I went to Manchester with my family for Easter. We rented a car there at https://rental24.co.uk/uk/manchester-airport/enterprise and went looking for fun in and around the city. We had a great time. We want to come back here again in the summer
