Looking for ways to make the most of the Easter weekend? From family-friendly adventures and artsy outings to a laidback night out, there’s something exciting to do for everyone!

Here are a few ideas to help you soak up all the Easter festivities.

Have an outdoor picnic

Take your usual brunch plans up a notch this Easter and opt for an outdoor picnic with loved ones! Savour the fresh air and scenic views at some of the best picnic spots such as Hyde Park and Fletcher Moss Park & Parsonage Gardens.

No time to prep for brunch? Go ahead and have takeaway delivered so you can enjoy your favourites hot and fresh!

If you prefer to go old-school, have someone pick up and deliver groceries to your doorstep and stock your picnic basket with fresh fruits, pastries, and maybe even some Easter-themed treats.

Scavenge for Easter eggs

Hop into spring with an egg-citing Easter egg hunt at Ham House and Garden in Richmond from 5 to 21 April 2025.

Kids can enjoy fun game stations inspired by the English Civil Wars and claim bunny ears and a chocolate egg (vegan and Free-from options available). It’s a lovely way to explore the historic gardens while keeping little ones entertained over the Easter holidays.

Keen to stay at home? Organise an egg-hunting activity from your living room or backyard; it will be as fun!

Watch a musical

Easter’s the perfect time to treat the family to a memorable West End musicals.

From the roaring adventures of The Lion King to the ABBA-filled fun of Mamma Mia! or the laugh-out-loud chaos of Matilda, there’s something for theatre lovers of all ages!

It’s a great way to soak up London’s atmosphere while giving the kids a memory they won’t forget.

Delve into DIY

Turns out Easter isn’t just about chocolate eggs—it’s also the perfect time to crack on with some DIY. With a few extra days off, it’s a great opportunity to finally tick off those lingering jobs around the house.

Whether you’re sprucing up the garden, giving a room a fresh lick of paint, or fixing that wobbly shelf, it’s a productive way to spend the long weekend.

Need help with your DIY project? You can always post a handyman task to save time.

Go on a Spring fair
