Cllr Mary Harkin, Cabinet Member of Culture and Leisure said "Spring Buzz is a great way to find out about the activities which Kirklees Council and its partner Kirklees Active Leisure is organising this Easter. Many of the events are free and there is a huge variety of things to do."
Kirklees Libraries and Information Centres are places where there will be plenty going on with Easter craft activities, herb and seed planting sessions and Spring stories and even bedtime story sessions for under5s!
Most of the places on the library events must be booked in advance - check out Spring Buzz for details.
There are activity days in Kirklees Museums and Galleries and plenty of events taking place. Museums are great places to visit with hands-on exhibits and lots to see and do.
