Now, I can't bring you any good news regarding it feeling more "spring-like" outside, but what I can tell you is that there are tonnes of events, workshops and activities going on in Colchester over the Easter Holidays. Here are some of my favourites:
 |
| Indie Easter Egg Hunt 23rd March - 14th April |
This is an event that involves chocolate, prizes and the chance to discover some of Colchester's hidden gems in terms of independent shops. And if that's not enough, it's FREE! All you have to do is visit one of the participating independent shops with your children to collect your map, visit nine more, collecting stickers along the way to receive a free chocolate egg as well as the chance of winning some fabulous prizes donated by local businesses when you complete and hand in your map at the end.
