Are you an eggsplorer?

After a visit to Drum Castle, you will be!

Enjoy a relaxing walk around the castle, with a chance to join in with some Easter fun!

All you need to do is collect the clues, solve the puzzle and then the Easter Bunny will reward you with a tasty treat. If you want to take part in the Easter Egg Trail - it costs £2.

From Friday 14th April until Monday 17th April. Between 11am and 4pm.

More details here.

Go Eggstatic at the Bon Accord Centre

Your mission is to find 12 giant Easter eggs that will be hidden around the centre before the Easter bunny does.

Don't worry, we heard the Easter bunny can't hop very fast so you're in with a good chance!

There will also be a colouring corner and also your chance to win an Easter bundle which includes a £50 Bon Accord & St. Nicolas gift card and more importantly - lots of choccy!

Starting 1st of April until the 16th April from 12pm until 4pm.

More info right here.

Bear (or bunny) in mind...

Our Cash For Kids team will be at the Bon Accord centre on Tuesday 4th and Wednesday 5th with your chance to take a selfie on our magical selfie wall, not forgetting a colouring corner and we heard a secret....

They've got some delicious treats to give you!

Northsound 500 Faces

"It's so easy! I've given up chocolate and put the fund into my piggy bank. So far, I've raised £23... I have until December though!"

You can also sign up to our cool new campaign 500 Faces and help raise money for the disadvantaged children in the North-east.

All we ask for is for £100 to be raised from now until December 2017. More info here.

Meet Marvin the mummy at Castle Fraser

Castle Fraser and Aberdeenshire Museums Service have teamed up and come up with a special Easter-filled fun day out...

From flight pond, mixed woodland to open farmland, with two way-marked walks giving magnificent views of the local hills...

Marvin the mummy

To meeting Marvin the mummy.

We know, he's not as cute as the Easter bunny but he is a very interesting guy!

You could make your weekend special by taking a relaxing stroll and then nipping in by to learn all about ancient artefacts.

Starting Wednesday 5th April between 11am and 1pm.
