Easter is Here! - April 2017

And just like that… It’s April! Spring is officially here. The blossom is out and thanks to the clocks springing forward our evenings are so much brighter. 

The Easter holidays are always a good time to refresh and get back into the habit of spending more time outside. Scientists have even proven that Vitamin D from the Sun can help prevent colds and flu!

Here at Konflux, we’ve recently been inspired by an article on TES which names ‘20 things to do before you’re 12, in search of a balanced education’. It highlights that not all pupils have access to hobbies and activities around the UK - ‘The narrowness of the lives of some children in this advanced country is astonishing’. We like to think that the school holiday is the perfect excuse for you to finally start ticking off those places that you’ve always wanted to visit. There are plenty of things to do that are probably cheaper than you think, some are even free!

With this in mind, we have decided to come up with a list of the 14 things to do in the UK whilst you’re on your Easter Jollies.

1. Learn about the Industrial Revolution at the Black Country Living Museum – Dudley, West Midlands
