Blast off into Easter fun at Colchester Castle!
Get ready for an Easter of space-tacular fun at Colchester Castle. Bring the whole family to the museum over the Easter holidays for unforgettable adventures.
Wonder at artwork ‘Mars’ by Luke Jerram which offers visitors of all ages a unique opportunity to view the Red Planet from above, as if they are a satellite mapping its surface in exquisite detail. You'll be able to see every valley, crater, volcano and mountain up close. Head to the Castle over Easter and be transported to a fascinating desert wasteland and envision what it would be like to set foot on a planet almost half the size of Earth!
In addition to ‘Mars’, children can also take part in a super solar system trail and a whole day and evening of Space Discovery on the 19 April where they can dive into the cosmos with space themed activities from the Tiptree Stargazing volunteers, even moon gazing from the Castle roof! Plus, craft and games hosted by the team. Not forgetting discovering over 2,000 years of treasures, interactive play and family tours!
