Easter themed family events around London 2019

Easter is just around the corner. The Easter Bunny is getting his basket of eggs ready. The Easter decorations at the shopping centre finally make sense. I am already preparing myself for all the chocolate I am about to eat.

Chocolate aside, Easter means a lot of different things to different people. And there are plenty of events being held for Easter in London this year. The four day weekend is set to be a cracker!



These are a few of the family friendly events that are being held from Friday April 19 to Monday April 22.

None of these events take your fancy? Why not plan something of your own!

For my group of friends who all have kids, we are putting together an Easter Bunny Picnic. Similar to a Teddy Bear Picnic, all the kids will bring along a bunny, and we will have our own easter egg hunt and bring along a plate each to share.
