There's plenty to do with all the family in Cornwall this Easter.

A host of exciting events are expected to keep everyone entertained, and, better still, they are designed to cater to all age groups.

Pendennis Castle, Falmouth

Pendennis Castle is hosting a unique egg hunt from March 23 to April 14.

Organised by English Heritage, the Easter Adventure Quest is aimed at both enlightening children about Easter history and keeping them entertained as they search for eggs around the castle grounds.

Ella Harrison, the event manager at English Heritage, expressed excitement about the event, saying: "This is a delightful way to explore Pendennis Castle and learn about the history of Easter.

"It's ideal timing, coinciding with the start of spring and providing families with a great opportunity to spend time outdoors."

Royal Cornwall Museum, Truro

On a different note, The Royal Cornwall Museum in Truro will feature a unique interactive exhibition on automata this Easter.

Titled The Marvellous Mechanical Museum, the exhibit will capture the public's fascination with ancient mechanical devices.

Bryony Robins, artistic director at the Royal Cornwall Museum, said: "Cornwall is renowned for its history of invention, ingenuity and artistic creativity.

"This show brings a different dimension through craft and the revival of the tradition of automata, at the same time celebrating the work of artists working in Cornwall today."

National Maritime Museum, Falmouth

In conjunction with the show, the museum hosts daily crafting workshops and a Cornish heroes trail. 

The Cornish Caretakers and the Chest of Cornishness runs across the Easer holidays, three times a day at 11am, 1pm and 3pm from Saturday, March 30 to Sunday, April 14 and is free to watch as part of the museum’s annual admission fee.
