Easter In London
London this Easter bank holiday weekend has you covered
Easter weekend this year runs from Good Friday on 18 April to Easter Monday on 21 April. Four packed full days to keep you busy. Whether you’re after afternoons dazing in sun-glazed parks, extended Sunday pub lunches, evenings at the theatre or 2025’s hottest exhibitions
Witness an enormous recreation of the crucifixion, Trafalgar Square 18 April
Wintershall Players return with their huge (think horses, donkeys, doves and a cast of over 100) open-air re-enactment of ‘The Passion of Jesus’ on Good Friday, featuring volunteers from in and around London. Huge crowds are expected but big screens will ensure nobody misses any crucial plot twists.
‘Now Lets Play 2025’ Somerset House, Aldwych 11-12 April
Join us this Easter holiday for the 11th edition of Now Play This, the UK’s leading festival of experimental games. We’re thrilled to welcome back this exciting event as part of the London Games Festival.
Easter Sunday Lunch – Across London
Sunday lunch. There’s nothing quite like it. An elemental meal that Londoners take incredibly seriously, debates about what constitutes the ‘perfect’ Sunday roast have been known to last for hours. There is no shortage of top roasts in London. We’ve rounded up the city’s best Sunday meals from a host of homely pubs and restaurants all around town. From snug neighbourhood staples to more bijou gastropubs. A lot of these places get quite busy, by the way. So you’re always advised to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
The Regent’s Park Easter 10K Race
Grab your running shoes. If you need to burn off all that chocolate then head to The Regent’s Park. The park is home to the annual Easter 10k race, which also includes an adults’ fun race and a race for the kids. You’ll pass by some of the park’s most famous sights, including London Zoo, and get Easter goodies and an Easter-themed medal at the end.
London Zoo’s Zoonormous Egg Hunt
Eggs are everywhere at Easter, but nothing quite like this! Come and celebrate the incredible egg-laying creatures at London Zoo including reptiles, birds, fish and butterflies, by taking part in the Zoonormous Egg Hunt! The family trail will guide you around the Zoo where eggs of all sizes and colours are waiting to be discovered, while learning about egg-ceptional species along the way. Solve the clues at each checkpoint to crack the code, revealing the Golden Egg in a special, hidden location. Successful egg-splorers will be rewarded with a tasty treat! Along with Easter crafts and over 15,000 amazing animals, you’ll be all set for an egg-cellent day out!
Classical Easter at St John’s, Smith Square SW1 26-29 March
