At the National Media Museum in Bradford all the exhibitions are free, and aside from the permanent photography, cinematography and television exhibitions (all family-friendly and interactive), there is now the world's first gallery devoted to the impact of the internet and digital age on our daily lives. There is always a range of films showing, as well as the mind-bending IMAX screen. This Easter there are various family activities on offer, including the chance to create animations and 'movie mash-ups'. There is a great shop, and a good cafe/restaurant; but this is Bradford, so it would be a shame to miss the chance to visit one of the fabulous curry shops just yards from the museum.

Bombay Stores in Bradford is an Asian department store and a legendary local institution. Head there for all things bling and Bollywood; it has a big sari fabric department glittering with all the colours of the rainbow, rails of shimmering salwar kamiz and myraid other Asian style outfits, shoe departments with gorgeous sequined creations and curled-toe slippers, a jewelry department filled with elaborate gold and elegant silver designs, and loads more. Most fun bit is the Indian method of payment. Choose the item, an assistant gives you a little slip in a basket, you dutifully take the slip to the payment counter then pay and receive your item carefully wrapped. In this store it's easier to believe that you are in downtown Chennai than in the UK! Love it.
