Pretending to be a medieval knight is just part of the fun for youngsters on a trip to 900-year-old Leeds Castle. After looking around the castle, get lost in the maze, ride on the mini train or run about in the woodland. This Easter there's a Treasure Hunt – the top prize, is a gold sovereign that's worth more than £250, though children can play an easier version to win gold chocolate coins. Easter activities from March 29 to April 1 2013.
An old Welsh slate mine is the location of this fun-filled one-hour tour. Anyone called Arthur goes free. Enjoy mysterious but fun tales of King Arthur at this former Welsh slate mine. The one-hour long tours involve boarding a boat and setting sail on an underground river back in time to the era of King Arthur. It's best suited to families with children aged 5-12, who usually make a day of it and stay to visit the crafts centre to watch designer-makers at work, or take part in drop-in activities such as candle-dipping and pottery painting. For older children (8+) and adults, Corris Mining Explorers is on the same site; tours of this original 18th century mine are led by a miner.
