Easter is around the corner once more, with that fabulous four-day weekend. This year, don’t spend it travelling; enjoy your Easter celebrations closer to home with our guide to the best Easter Egg hunts in London.
The Lindt Gold Bunny Hunt
There’s a sweet surprise for children aged 3-12 years old and their families at Hampton Court Palace this Easter – a Lindt Gold Bunny hunt with a chocolate bunny prize!
Follow a self-led trail through Henry VIII’s spectacular gardens and learn about the remarkable people who left their mark on the historic palace – but watch out for the Lindt Gold Bunny statues hiding amongst the spring flowers along the way! Find them all to claim your prize.
The hunt is included in the ticket price for admission to the palace; allow around 90 minutes to complete the trail.
Date: 29th March – 21st April 2025Price: included in admission price

Zoonormous Egg Hunt
There is an egg hunt with a difference at London Zoo this spring!
Follow the Zoonormous Easter egg hunt trail involving some of the amazing egg-laying birds at London Zoo and collect the missing letters from your trail card along the way. Solve the password to gain access to a secret final location, then make your golden promise to wildlife to collect a sweet treat.
There are also egg-stra special Easter crafts, photo opportunities and games, some with tasty prizes.

Kids over 5 can follow the trail around the legendary ship to spot the hidden eggs; along the way, they’ll discover some fascinating facts about Cutty Sark’s history and epic voyages. Collect the letters shown on each egg; once you have all 11 letters, crack the secret nautical code and head to the Cutty Sark café under the hull to claim a chocolatey treat, courtesy of Tony’s Chocolonely.

BucketRace’s Easter Scavenger Hunt
Fed up scrolling through all the fun Easter Egg hunts for kids and want to get in on the action?
Check out BucketRace’s Easter Scavenger Hunt; solve the clues to find landmarks around London and compete against other teams to be the first to finish. The Easter theme means there will be special challenges: can you cluck like a chicken in public, have an egg and spoon race through town or find a giant Easter Egg? (Keep reading for some help with that last one.)
Once each challenge has been submitted, you will receive your next clue via email. If you complete enough challenges in the hunt you will unlock some serious bonus points. Easter bunnies, assemble!

Easter Egg Hunt at Mercato Metropolitano
Here’s another one where the grown-ups can get involved.
Head over to any Mercato Metropolitano site on Easter Sunday where there’s fun for both big kids and actual kids. From 11am-1pm there’s a children’s Easter Egg hunt where they can win free chocolate eggs or gelato from Badiani – in our opinion, some of the best gelato in London. Then, from 6pm, adults can hunt for vouchers for beers, wines, cocktails, and small food tasters from the food shacks. Prizes are first come, first served, so get your skates on.

The Big Egg Hunt
If you’re more into fitness than chocolate (apparently that’s a thing) then get your steps in with the Big Egg Hunt.
This Easter, Asia’s wildlife charity Elephant Family in partnership with Clarence Court Eggs are uniting some of the world’s leading names in art, fashion, design and retail for the Big Egg Hunt 2025. Beautifully designed eggs by the likes of LUAP, Sophie Tea, Chopard, Anya Hindmarch, Boyarde and many more will pop up across London’s landmarks as part of an immersive free-to-view trail, and you can download an app to check them off.
