Here’s our pick of some Dorset events over the Easter holidays.

With Easter coming up, have your children’s minds turned to Easter Eggs? There are a number of Easter themed events on this month including Egg hunts and Easter activities.

April 2nd to 5th Easter Egg Hunt at Adventure Wonderland theme park, near Bournemouth Airport.

April 2nd-5th - Easter Specials at Swanage Railway with a free hot cross bun for every passenger travelling on Good Friday and Easter Saturday OR a free hand-made Easter Egg for every child travelling on Easter Sunday and Monday.

Did you know that there is a nature reserve in central Weymouth? Over Easter, RSPB Radipole Lake and Arne is a great space to let the kids run wild. You can play bird bingo and hire wildlife explorer backpacks throughout Easter.

April 2nd to April 5th Bennetts Water Gardens is hosting an Easter Bunny Egg Hunt. Visit on Good Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Easter Monday for the Easter Bunny Egg Hunt, with a special Easter trail for children to follow around the gardens; find the clues to complete the trail and get rewarded with a chocolate egg. Children can also take part in the Easter colouring competition.

If you’re visiting over the Easter weekend, don’t forget to book your self catering accommodation in Dorset or bed and breakfast in Dorset as soon as possible.
