Chocolate eggs, two weeks off school and bank holidays - Easter is undoubtedly one of the most exciting times of the year for kids.
Trying to fill a fortnight with activities to keep the whole family entertained can be tricky though, so we have put together a guide filled with family-friendly things to do and places to explore in Lancashire this Easter.
The county looks particularly beautiful during springtime, as daffodils pop up in green spaces, lambs start leaping in the fields, and our coast and countryside attractions open their doors again.
From egg rolling and Easter egg hunts to admiring striking sculptures or enjoying picnics on the beach, here are 17 fun things to do in Lancashire this Easter. Take a look at the gallery below.
7. Wyre Estuary Country Park, Thornton
Wyre Estuary Country Park is situated on the banks of the River Wyre and is an award-winning Green Flag Country Park. Kids will love the natural play area, there's a cafe on site, and you can hire an all-terrain tramper if you have someone in your party that has access needs too. | Steve Daniels

Showtown, Blackpool’s museum of fun and entertainment, celebrates the resort’s glorious history as the UK home of popular entertainment. It includes interactive galleries featuring seaside, circus, magic, dance, shows, and the world-famous Illuminations. | Third party Photo: Third party

11. Cristal Palace, Southport
On Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4, internationally acclaimed French performance company Transe Express will bring Cristal Palace to the heart of the town as part of the Southport 2026: Elegantly Eccentric programme. Taking place during the Easter holidays, this free event promises a ‘magical evening out for all generations’, and celebrates 150 years of dance and music in a swirl of soaring aerial performance, live sound and striking visual theatre. | Pepper Southall
12. Mythic Coast Artwork Trail, Cleveleys
Striking structures have brought to life The Sea Swallow - a specially commissioned children's story book that combines local folklore, myth and legend about Wyre's coastline. All the artworks were designed by North West artist Stephen Broadbent. They were funded through the Sea Change regeneration programme that has also seen the building of the new Rossall Point Observation Tower and the refurbishment of Marine Hall Gardens at Fleetwood. | ManM Photography
