IT'S no yoke, youngsters across Comet country have been having an egg-cellent time this Easter holiday.

Arts and crafts, giant games, cake making, football, cricket, dodgeball, drama, quizzes and treasure hunts are just some of the activities on offer at playschemes and holiday events across the area.

And that doesn't include all the Easter-themed fun and games available like egg painting, Easter egg hunts and Easter bonnet making.

Stevenage Borough Council has been running schemes in play centres throughout the town and the museum hosted a week of special activities including soft toy making, a family fun day and clay work.

North Hertfordshire District Council has been offering sports courses for five to 16-year-olds as well as open access play sessions in North Hertfordshire villages.
