London, UK

London is a very special city when it comes to celebrating Easter. Easter in the UK has its beginnings long before the arrival of Christianity, and it is one of the major holidays & Christian festivals in the UK that is full of customs, folklore, and of course, traditional Easter food. During Easter, London is packed with creative entertainment ideas for both adults and kids.

A classic activity during this holiday season is of course a magical Easter egg hunt, and London is welcoming many hunts in some great locations all across the city. Both Hampton Court Palace and Kensington Palace are a must-see for all Easter egg hunt lovers. In both locations, you will get the chance to walk around the palace grounds and be in with the chance of winning a special prize - a very tasty chocolate Lindt Gold Bunny. If you and your kids are too tired of egg-hunting, let's sit comfortably and enjoy a good story in the theater. Haymarket Theatre Royal presents a magical show during April: ‘Where is Peter Rabbit?’ This play, based on the original tales of Beatrix Potter, will immerse you for an hour in a magical world with handcrafted puppets brought to life by some great actors and enchanting original songs.

Moreover, afternoon tea is quintessentially British, and it’s something that’s particularly enjoyable around Easter time when cafes and restaurants are exploring different menus and holding special offers. In London, you can have your afternoon tea high up in the Shard, taking in the views of London, or you could splash out and go to the Harrods Tea Room for a real high-end experience. There are also different types of afternoon tea, from champagne afternoon teas to specific Easter ones. There are even experiences such as ‘make your own afternoon tea’ where you can create the meal from scratch.
