EASTER GUIDE: A cracking list of what's on in Doncaster

There’s a host of activites and events lined up over the seasonal break, something to suit all tastes and for all types of budgets.

For families, the two week break can put a huge dent in the pocket but we have tried to pick out things going on that are cheap, or, even better, free.

The first one which costs nothing is the Easter fair which is being held at Woodfield Park on Good Friday, April 14, between 11am and 4pm.

Not only is admission free, but so is the parking, and it offers fun for all.

There will be Easter trails, a visit from the Easter bunny, gift stalls, children’s crafts, children’s rides, tombola, abirds ofprey display, plant and garden products, Easter bonnet competition, Easter treats in the Victorian tea rooms and much more.

Woodfield Park, formerly St Catherine’s, is situated at Tickhill Road, Balby. For more details telephone 01302 798000.

Join in a children’s Easter party at Fuzzy Eds in The Highway Man, Great North Road, Woodlands, on Friday, April 7 between 5-7pm.

There will be an Easter basket with yummy treats that is being raffled off for charity and a visit from the Easter bunny too.

Admission is by £5 ticket only which must be bought in advance, pop into the pub or telephone 01302 723559.
