An EGG-cellent packed programme of school holiday fun lies in store at the Army Flying Museum at Middle Wallop in Hampshire this Easter.

Following on from unprecedented numbers at February half-term, the Easter holidays have lots in store for visitors throughout the Easter break, including an Easter Egg hunt which will run from Good Friday to Easter Monday.

Popular model making sessions are back on Tuesday 31 March and Saturday 11 April with free craft activities running daily from 10-1230. Children also have the opportunity to take part in a special ‘Spot the Easter Bunny’ trail running throughout the holidays.

Three special events finish the packed programme! To start the Easter holidays, the Museum will be getting a very special visit from The Three Bees project on Wednesday 1 April, as they bring their very special herd of therapy goats along to the Museum for visitors to see. On Thursday 2 April, visitors are encouraged to get their hands dirty and plant flower seeds to take home and use in their gardens and to end the holidays, on Saturday 11 April, the Hampshire Reptile Trust will be bringing a myriad of creatures into the Museum to share the wonders of these often-misunderstood animals.

During Easter weekend, be on the lookout for two golden eggs which will be hidden in the Museum each day, giving visitors the chance to win a family ticket to a local attraction.

Along with all the interactives, dressing up and play areas at the Museum, there is plenty to keep everyone busy and all activities throughout the holidays, excluding the Easter Egg Hunt, are included in ticket price which also comes with a free annual pass offered by the Museum.

Lucy Johnson, CEO of the Army Flying Museum said: “We were thrilled to see so many new and returning visitors at half term participating in the wide range of activities we now offer at all the school holidays. We are very excited about our Easter programme and so pleased that we are continuing to provide so many additional activities as part of the general ticket income, giving families excellent value for money”.

Everyone that visits the Museum only needs to pay once to receive a free annual pass and this has proved an extremely popular incentive to residents around Hampshire and Wiltshire who have seen increased value for their passes over the last two years, with a significant increase in the number of activities being offered by the Museum.

Due to large numbers of visitors during the school holidays, the Museum encourages visitors and annual pass holders to book online in advance for their visits to avoid disappointment
