Whatever your belief system or faith orientation may be, broader society as a whole can rejoice in the coming of Easter with a number of guarantees: big family gatherings, even bigger gatherings of friends, too much chocolate, not nearly enough open stores, and a double-serving of weekends.

If weather permits, Easter this year will involve a lot of time spent outdoors roaming the sun-soaked palisades and bustling alleyways of your Sydney. Get involved with some of the festive long-weekend fun going on around you.

Have a Picnic

Have your Easter brunch al fresco in any of a number of wide, green spaces spotted around the city. Our picks include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Centennial Parklands, Cremorne Point Reserve and Cockatoo Island.

Go on an Easter Egg Hunt

Get yourself stocked up on easter eggs and scatter them around at said picnic. Grab a panini and some cold drip as your little ones scurry about in search of the coveted ‘Golden Egg’. Happy hunting!
