5 Things to do this Week - 6th - 13th April

1. Springland at Partridge Lakes, Warrington

Get ready for a magical, storybook-style spring adventure that's perfect for families looking for something special to do in Cheshire this Easter. Walk this 1km interactive trail at your own pace and join Princess Araya on a quest through colourful themed zones (from knight training at Araya’s castle and meeting friendly alpacas at Twinklehorn Farm to making a wish at the woodland well and singing with mermaids at Bloomtide Bay), all set against a scenic lakeside backdrop with a welcoming café and pop-up food vendors, timed entry sessions that still let you explore at your own pace, and a fully accessible, dog-friendly set-up that even includes dedicated sensory sessions for a calmer experience.

2. Easter Hunts

Head to the great outdoors this week with two brilliant Easter egg hunts in Cheshire’s beautiful country parks. At Tegg’s Nose Country Park near Macclesfield, little explorers can follow a fun, family-friendly trail around the park, hunting for colourful egg boards and solving simple clues as they go, all while enjoying far-reaching views over the Cheshire Plain. Over at Brereton Heath Local Nature Reserve, families can pick up a trail sheet and set off around the lake and through the woods in search of hidden eggs, spotting wildlife and spring flowers along the way. Both trails are designed with younger children in mind, making them an easy way to add some fresh air and gentle adventure to your week in Cheshire.
