Families across Lincoln are being invited to get creative and enjoy the outdoors this Easter with a series of hands-on activities taking place in the city’s parks.
Hosted by City of Lincoln Council’s Park Rangers, the sessions will be held at Boultham Park, Hartsholme Country Park and the Arboretum, offering a range of fun and easy-to-follow activities for children and families to enjoy together.
From making slime and weaving with willow to creating dreamcatchers and launching bottle rockets, these activities are designed to be engaging, imaginative and suitable for a wide range of ages.
Each activity encourages children to learn new skills, explore nature and get creative in a relaxed outdoor setting, making them ideal for families looking to keep busy during the school holidays.
