THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND STAFFORDSHIRE THIS EASTER

 Not long before half term hits our house and we have been busy planning some fun trips out in between work, which can sometimes get a little stressful but I find if you get your calendar planned out ahead then there is little room for error, i type that as I touch my head and cross my fingers and toes :) 

I have found some lovely things going on in and around Staffordshire and Cheshire this half term for the kiddies if you are local to the area or fancy planning a day trip somewhere new.
