Family friendly Easter Activities 25 Mar 2026
Easter in St Albans is bursting with colour, creativity and family fun, and this year’s line‑up of activities offers the perfect mix of outdoor adventure, tasty treats and hands‑on creativity for children of all ages.
Start your Easter outing with the St Albans BID Easter Hats Trail, running from 28 March to 12 April 2026, a completely free, city‑wide hunt for ten recognisable hats hidden around St Albans City Centre. Collect your map from the Museum + Gallery kids match each hat to a question on the official trail map for the chance to win St Albans Gift Cards, making it both exciting and rewarding for families. Along the way, children can take photos with the cheerful Easter Bunny cut‑out props near Empire Records and Chaos City Comics in Heritage Close—perfect for capturing the moment.

After completing the trail, make a well‑deserved stop at Abbot’s Tea Room to try the iconic and delicious Alban Bun, believed to be the original hot cross bun dating back to 1361. This rich, gently spiced treat is a perfect way to rest little legs and enjoy a traditional taste of St Albans.
If your children love getting creative, head over to Verulamium Museum for the Mosaic Making Workshop on 30 March 2026. Kids aged 5+ can design their own Easter‑themed mosaic using colourful glass pieces and professional tools, guided by local mosaic artist Audrey from Montet Designs. Multiple timed sessions run throughout the morning, and adults are welcome to join in as well.

To burn off even more energy, add Scoot, Skate & Roll to your Easter itinerary. This indoor skatepark event at The Pioneer Skatepark runs from 30 March – 3 April 2026, offering sessions where kids can scoot, skate or rollerskate in a safe and welcoming environment suitable for all abilities. Sessions run daily, and at just £7.50 per child, it’s a brilliant way to keep young ones active during the school break. All profits support The Pioneer Club Charity, helping young people locally.

Animal lovers should pay a visit to Willows Activity Farm, where the Easter Eggstravaganza (28 March–6 April 2026) brings egg hunts, Easter crafts, daily Easter Bunny shows and plenty of adorable baby animals like lambs, chicks and kid goats for a joyful spring day out. This is followed by Jemima’s Jamboree (7–12 April 2026), featuring chocolate egg hunts, duckling meet‑and‑greets and lively Jemima Puddle‑Duck performances for more seasonal fun.
With trails to explore, treats to taste, mosaics to craft and wheels to roll on, St Albans offers an unforgettable Easter packed with activities to keep kids entertained and parents smiling.
