At Northumberlandia, the wildlife charity will be running two family den building sessions on Tuesday 4^th April and a family mini beast hunt and a tracks and trails hunt on Tuesday 11^th April. Downloadable Easter trails are scheduled to run from Good Friday (7^th April) through to Bank Holiday Monday (10^th April).

And it’s not just humans being offered a great time at the Weetslade Country Park reserve this April.

In addition to the Weetslade Spring Trail which is running between Sunday 2^nd (April) and Sunday 16^th  (April),humans of all ages are invited to bring their furry pooches to the Easter Wagtastic Egg Hunt on the site on Good Friday (7^th April) between 10:00 and 12noon. For two hours they can turn into Wagatha Christe and hunt for Easter eggs hidden around the site. Bunny ears and Easter bonnets are optional but will result in extra doggy treats if worn.

Further up the coast at Druridge Bay, the team at the Trust’s Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre has been busy organising a bird spotting and bird box making craft session on Thursday 6^th April and a family minibeast hunt and tracks and trails activity on Thursday 13^th April, however if you fancy something a bit more relaxing, why not take in the views of across the lake from the Lookout Café with a tea and a scone?

Frances Smiles, Northumberland Wildlife Trust Events Officer says:

“There’s something for everybody this Easter, whether you’re arty crafty, have four legs and a tail or just fancy a leisurely stroll in peace and tranquillity round Weetslade Country Park, why not give the cinemas and shopping centres a miss and head outdoors and recharge your batteries the natural way?"
