Easter bank holiday falls right at the start of the break this year, which means you will inevitably use up all the tricks you have in the first four days to keep your little ones occupied.


The solution? Jump headfirst into questions of life and its creation at the Science Museum. The institute will celebrate 200 years since Shelly created both Frankenstein and his monster with a family-friendly festival. Kids will have the opportunity to participate in some immersive theatre, bring their own monstrous creatures to life with stop-motion animation, or crack the code to an escape room.


With so many different activities on offer, it's worth scanning the website to see which events most tickle your fancy. But for those looking for a handy guide, here are some of the highlights at Frankenstein Festival:
