Go chocolate-hunting at London's coolest chocolate shops

It doesn't have to be Easter Sunday for you and the kiddos to start hunting for some eggs. Or truffles, bars or macarons, for that matter. Whether you happen to be in Bow or Borough Market, Covent Garden or Chelsea, there's a chocolate shop for you. Many have delish hot chocolate for your mini-me to sample as well.

Take them on an Easter hunt at the Horniman Easter Fair

Enjoy the Easter weekend at the Horniman with the whole family: there's an Easter trail, crafts workshops, face painting, storytelling and activities in the museum's gardens. Lego-obsessives can also check out the museum's Brick Wonders exhibition, with cool Lego constructions like pyramids, international space stations and much more. There are also plenty of interactive spaces for budding architects to try out their skills.

Go back in time with Ice Age: The Lost Kingdom

Mammoths, sabre-tooth tigers, giant sloths – oh my! Ice Age: The Lost Kingdom brings these prehistoric beasts of yore to life in an outdoor animatronic family show that brings your little ones closer than they ever imagined to beasts that roamed the earth 70,000 years ago. Happy hunting...

Gunnersbury Park, Gunnersbury, Popes Lane, London, W5 4NH

Celebrate Easter at Hever Castle

From carrot hunting on the Easter trail to spot the bunnies, escape London this Easter and head to Anne Boleyn's childhood home of Hever Castle (an hour's train ride from London Bridge). They can also decorate an Easter bonnet at daily crafts workshops and participate in an Easter parade with prizes for the best bonnets. Hever Castle also has some of the most glorious gardens, so it's worth the day trip to check them out. Kids will love the Tudor Towers adventure playground (for ages 7-14), the Acorn Dell for the youngsters and the Yew Maze – will you find your way out of the labyrinth?

WHEN

6 April 2019 - 22 April 2019
