If there’s one thing that gets my little ones bouncing with anticipation faster than you can say “Easter bunny,” it’s the promise of an epic Easter egg hunt. And let me tell you, West London knows how to deliver! From urban trails and city farms to sprawling parks and heritage homes – there is something for everyone on this list. So, grab your baskets and put on your bunny ears and let’s explore my top West London Easter Egg hunts.
The Big Egg Hunt
London will be transformed this Easter by “The Egg Hunt,” a city-wide art trail featuring over 100 giant, decorated eggs. Created by renowned artists, designers, and brands like Anya Hindmarch and Fortnum & Mason, these 2ft sculptures will be scattered across iconic London locations, from Chelsea to the British Museum. Use the free app to track your finds and win prizes. The eggs will then be auctioned to benefit the wildlife charity, Elephant Family.
This is a wonderful opportunity to take the kids and explore London’s most loved landmarks. More Info Here
Fulham Palace Easter Egg trail
Children will absolutely love scavenging around the Fulham Palace and its enchanting grounds and walled garden this Easter. This is a self guided 45 min egg hunt aimed at 5 yrs + (3+ with parental help). Each egg placard has a letter which children will need to unscramble to solve a riddle and win a special prize. No booking required.
Morden Hall park easter Trail
This Easter, Modern Hall Park invites children on a journey of discovery as they delve into the lush greenery and rugged woodlands of this National trust gem. For £3.50 kids will receive a trail sheet, bunny ears and a dairy or vegan free responsibly sourced chocolate egg. Rumour has it, they’ve got the most giggle-inducing welly wanging, surprisingly satisfying (and safe!) axe throwing for the little ones, and a ring toss that’ll have everyone cheering. Trust me, it’s the perfect way to get those little explorers connected with nature this spring – you won’t want to miss it
Expect lots of outdoor fun filled games and activities for the whole family. No booking required.
Vauxhall City Farm
Whilst not quite West London, Vauxhall City Farm is just one stop from Clapham Junction and well worth a visit. This cute little urban Farm is an oasis just footsteps away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The Easter events programme here includes Easter bonnet making, activity sheets, cuddles with real Easter Bunnies and of course an Eater Egg hunt. Children will be let loose on the farm garden to search for hidden eggs. Find ten and you can make your way to the cafe to exchange for a chocolate reward. Booking Required.
RHS Garden Wisley Easter Egg Trail
Retreat into nature this Easter with a visit to RHS Garden Wisley, a short drive from West London in neighbouring Surrey. Here you will find the expansive gardens littered with enormous painted eggs. This year RHS Wisley is adding a brain-teasing twist with a code-breaker pack (additional £2.50) that turns the search into a real quest. Find the brightly coloured eggs, crack the codes, and then dive into storytelling and creative workshops being held in the Clore Learning Centre.
Lindt Easter Egg Hunt at Hampton Court Palace
Back by popular demand the much loved Lindt Easter Bunny Hunt at Hampton Court Palace makes for a fabulous Easter day out. Immerse yourself in Tudor History in King Henry VIII’s iconic palace before letting the little ones loose on the beautifully maintained grounds and gardens.
The Hunt takes the form of a self led 90 mins trail where children will seek out hidden Lindt Bunny statues which they will then match to influential historical figures, many of whom will be making appearances within the palace this Easter. Aimed at children aged 3- 12 yrs, the hunt is an excellent opportunity for older children to put their Tudor knowledge to good use and be rewarded with a delicious Lindt Bunny treat. Booking ahead advised.
Chiswick House and Gardens Easter Family Trail
