Stafford: Staffordshire smart alert - Biker Down Courses 2025 - Learn how to save a life



If you were first on the scene of an accident involving a motorcyclist, would you know what to do? Would you know who was most at risk, how to protect the area, or whether you should remove the helmet of a downed fellow rider?

A series of free motorbike workshops that teach riders vital life-saving skills is back for another year.

Biker Down Staffordshire is a training course run by bikers for bikers to give them the confidence and knowledge to respond if a fellow motorcyclist is involved in a collision.

Richmond: Easter at The Green Howards Museum


Families looking for something a little different this Easter can head to The Green Howards Museum in Richmond, where a mix of creative activities and an outdoor trail promise fun for all ages.
Visitors can drop into a shadow puppet-making workshop led by Thunk-It Theatre. Inspired by the museum’s ‘Animal Allies’ special exhibition, children will have the chance to craft their own animal puppets and bring them to life through storytelling.

For those who enjoy a challenge, the museum’s Easter Pigeon Trail will run from 5th to 20th April. Families can explore Richmond in search of six hidden pigeons in shop windows throughout the town, follow the clues to find the pigeons that are each marked with a letter. Crack the code on your activity sheet and return to the museum to claim a special prize.

With hands-on creativity, an outdoor adventure, and plenty of history to discover, The Green Howards Museum is the perfect place to make Easter memories this spring.
