IT'S time for children to take their Easter Egg-zam at the Elgar Birthplace Museum.

The egg-zam will be available from today (Friday, April 22) to Monday, and will involve following a trail and answering questions with the prize of a small Easter egg at the end.

Museum director Cathy Sloan said: “Children already enjoy visiting the museum and using the interactive displays to discover Elgar’s fascinating life and music. I am sure this will be an added attraction for them. Elgar himself loved puzzles and crosswords and it is appropriate that we continue this tradition.”

The museum is open daily from 11am to 5pm.
