5 Things In Plym (April 12-13)

🛖 Native Makers Market - Royal William Yard (April 12-13)

Head over to the Native Makers Market this weekend. From ceramics and textiles to printmaking, painting, woodwork and more, you’ll get the chance to browse, chat, and maybe even watch these makers in action. It’s a proper celebration of craft, creativity, and community — and a great way to support local talent doing what they love. It’s completely free to attend too!

📍 Ocean Studios, The Factory Cooperage, Royal William Yard, Plymouth

⏰ 10:00am - 4:00pm

🌇 Sunset & Full Moon Paddle - South West SUP (April 12)

Okay, this one sounds incredible — imagine paddling out on the water as the sun sets, then watching the full moon rise right in front of you. Dreamy, right?

There’s a guided evening paddleboarding session happening from Royal William Yard, and it’s all about soaking up the best of the natural magic Plymouth has to offer. You’ll meet at Firestone Arch, get a full safety brief from the instructors, then head out just in time for golden hour.

📍 South West SUP, Firestone Arch

⏰ 7:00pm - 9:00pm 

🐰 Easter Egg Hunt at Mount Edgcumbe (April 13)

If you're looking for a wholesome little adventure over Easter weekend, Mount Edgcumbe has you covered.

The Friends of Mount Edgcumbe Country Park are hosting an Easter Egg Hunt. You can just turn up on the day and register at Lamberts Lodge, right by the Lower Formal Gardens.

It’s £3 per child and they get an Easter Egg at the end of the trail — cute, right? A lovely way to get outdoors, explore the park, and keep the kids entertained.

Perfect for a family afternoon out — or just an excuse to go grab a chocolate egg in a scenic spot.

📍 Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, Lamberts Lodge

⏰ 11:00am - 4:00pm (last entry 3:00pm)

Plus: mini football pitch, marshmallow toasting, food & ice cream on site – and every child gets a free ticket to the Argyle Women’s game that afternoon.

📍 Plymouth Argyle Football Club, Home Park

⏰ 10:30am - 1:30pm

What We Found (Really) Cool

Zephyr Burger’s Sister Restaurant, Nora’s, is taking Plymouth By Storm

There's a new spot in town that’s quietly making waves already – Nora’s has only been open a few weeks, but it's already racking up the rave TripAdvisor reviews.

You’ll find it on North Hill, just a few doors up from the iconic Zephyr Burgers – and yep, it’s from the same dream team, Oz and Sheena. After nailing the burger game, they’ve now turned their attention to steaks – and from what people are saying, they’ve absolutely smashed it.

Definitely one to add to the list if you’re a steak lover.
