There are loads of family-friendly activities that can take place in churchyards during the school holidays.  

Flowery burial grounds are ideal sites to spot butterflies if the weather is sunny and not too windy.  Our Spotters Guide to butterflies is a great place to start, and you can also check out our Spotters Guide to Wildflowers.

Whether it's families or holiday clubs, there are plenty of activity ideas, from mini beast hunts and tree measuring to symbol scavenger hunts in our children's activity sheets, that can be downloaded here.
