Easter holidays in Cheshire this year will be a little different to the norm – but with places hoping to reopen on 12th April, there will be day trips to be had during the second week of the holidays (all being well!)
Here are some pleaces we know are hoping to reopen, along with some events and other things to keep you busy in Macclesfield, Congleton, Knutsford, Wilmslow, Poynton, Sandbach and surrounding areas.
If you are running an easter event or club and would like us to add it to our list please get in touch here.
If you’d like to search by day, all Easter events as well as other local family friendly events are on the Events Calendar.
BeWILDerwood Cheshire is a huge woodland full of family fun, adventure, and imagination. Enjoy a day out for the whole family and create wonderful memories together!
The 70-acre adventure park is filled with huge slides, muddled mazes, treetop structures and magical treehouses. There is also storytelling, crafts, activities and so much more! Grown ups are encouraged to play alongside their children, so ALL of the family can run WILD at BeWILDerwood Cheshire.
Make sure you check the wibbly website for seasonal opening dates. The woodland opens 10am – 5pm and is a full family day out. Plus, everything from car parking, activities, crafts and storytelling shows are included in the ticket price.
Admission prices are based on height rather than age, as there are some things in the park that require longer arms and legs! Under 92cm free; 92–105cm £17.50; over 105cm £19.50; over 65’s £12.50 (2021 prices).
Visitors must book their tickets online ahead of their visit. Book your adventure today at: https://cheshire.bewilderwood.co.uk/

Useful Links
Discover Tree Climbing arose from the need for tree climbing experiences in the North of England. Co-director Neil was looking for somewhere to learn tree climbing but there was nowhere available locally, so after going further afield to learn the techniques, he is bringing it back home and making it available to you. Terry jumped at the chance to put his knowledge of trees and climbing techniques gained from years as an arborist to use in a socially conscious and exiting new way.
As seen on Blue Peter!!
Why not come and experience recreational tree climbing with us at the following locations this Easter?! This is a fantastic experience for anyone aged 6 and above to safely ascend into the canopy of a tree!
