Royal William Yard is the place to be at Easter with a host of family activities planned.

From an Easter egg hunt to a family Astronaut Academy, from children’s paddleboarding to family cinema experiences, it’s all available at Royal William Yard.

Running from March 30 to April 7 between 12 noon and 5pm, the trail is totally free. Children can grab an Easter Egg trail map from a number of participating restaurants and cafes, before heading off to spot the Easter eggs around Royal William Yard, and then claim their prize.

The Brainiac Astronaut Academy – the UK’s leading interactive science event based on the popular TV show – is launching a mission to Mars! It will allow families to design, build and launch a rocket fit to fly into outer space, using craft materials, wild imaginations, and a helping hand from the Brainiacs!

The Brainiac event is an Easter treat courtesy of Plymouth Waterfront Partnership, Royal William Yard, and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. Taking place from March 29 to April 1 one-hour long sessions will be held at 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm in the Brewhouse building (next door to Wagamama).
