Here we list five fabulous events on offer in Hampshire that will be sure to keep you and your family entertained.
Titanic 110, Sea City Museum, Sunday
SOUTHAMPTON is preparing to mark 110 years since the Titanic embarked on her ill-fated maiden voyage to New York.
Commemorative events will be held at the SeaCity Museum, which tells the story of how Titanic struck an iceberg in 1912 and sank with the loss of more than 1,500 lives.
The events will take place on Sunday, the anniversary of the day the luxury liner began her first and only voyage.
Families will be able to take part in workshops and face-painting activities as well as climbing Southampton’s 156ft clock tower.
Staged in partnership with The BRICK People, the commemorations will also embrace activities involving Lego, including "speed build" competitions and the chance to buy rare and discontinued Lego sets.

Easter activities at Mottisfont, near Romsey, from Saturday
