It might feel like the kids have only just gone back to school after February half term, but thoughts are already turning to the Easter break.
After a very short term, schools will break up for Easter by Thursday March 28, ahead of Good Friday on March 29.
And holidays on the horizon, many parents will now be starting think of ways to keep their little ones entertained for more than two weeks.
From feeding lambs and Easter crafts, to an array of Easter egg hunts, there is plenty to do in Northamptonshire no matter the age of your children or you budget.
Here are 22 things to do with kids in Northamptonshire over the 2024 Easter holidays.

14. Brooklyn Brownie Co's Easter scavenger hunt
Brooklyn Brownie Co is hosting an Easter scavenger hunt across the county. The company's brownie ambulance will be hidden in key landmark locations across the county, waiting for eager treasure hunters to find. Clues will be dropped about each location on the business’ social media platforms, and even via local radio stations. The lucky people who find the ambulance first will be treated to a delectable Brooklyn Brownie Box filled with signature treats. Everyone who finds them before they head off to their next location will be treated to some Easter goodies. Find out more on the Brooklyn Brownie Co website. Photo: Brooklyn Brownie Co.
