It always seems to happen that the holidays sneak up on us quicker than expected - across Kent there are hundreds of parents and carers frantically trying to sort something out for the kids to do for the fortnight after Easter.
Can you tell one of them is me?
I've found a selection of events and activities going on in and around Tunbridge Wells and Tonbridge over Easter and the holidays, but I'm sure there are many more.
If you know of any events you'd like to promote or tell us about, feel free to email us at TunbridgeWells@thebestof.co.uk, or leave a Comment at the bottom of this article - you don't have to register and very quick and easy!
