As the school holidays start next Monday, there’s every excuse to lighten up this weekend and get in the mood for some holiday fun.
The countdown to Good Friday is on, and we’ve come up with a guide to events and activities taking place in the Mansfield, Ashfield and wider area over the next few days.
It’s a busy weekend in Mansfield, with an exciting ‘Superheroes And Princesses’ event on the Market Place and the latest Mansfield Mind Body Spirit Show, which has proved so popular that it is sold out.
It’s also the start of an exhibition about the old Granada cinema and music venue at Mansfield Museum, which hosts a makers’ market too. Close by, at the Palace Theatre, shows feature rock ‘n’ roll music from the 50s and 60s, and also Irish music and comedy.
For the kids, Easter is the theme at various venues, with egg hunts, art activities, storytelling workshops and even a chance to have breakfast with the Easter bunny.
Before you set off, please check the websites of the individual websites for opening times and admission prices.
Have a great eve-of-Easter weekend!

13. Films for people with dementia
An admirable initiative for people with dementia launches at Mansfield Central Library in the Four Seasons Centre next Wednesday. For its accessible auditorium will be showing the first of a series of dementia-friendly film screenings, which run until July.
