The workshops cost just £2.50 per child, but for a totally free experience you can simply enjoy the museum and take part in their family hunts around the building.

5: Put a spring in your step in stunning parks

Make the most of the (hopefully!) beautiful spring weather in the many stunning green spaces in Leamington Spa, including Victoria Park, Jephson Gardens and Mill Gardens – a smaller park just across the river from Jephson where you'll find gorgeous gardens, a children's play area and a boating lake and boathouse. Winning a Green Flag award every year since 2006, and voted a Green Heritage Site by English Heritage, it's well worth a visit.
