24th March 2016

If you’re not sure what to do during the Bank Holiday weekend, we’ve compiled a list of a few ideas to get you and the family out and about in Sefton this Easter.

1. Visit the coast or take a nature walk through one of our beautiful parks. We’ve got over 30 to choose from or maybe pop to the Ainsdale and Birkdale Nature Reserve – one of the largest areas of wild dune land left in Britain
