Hop Into Adventure: 6 Egg-citing Outdoor Activities for Easter Half Term

Spring is in the air, and Easter half term is the perfect excuse to peel the kids off screens and head into the great outdoors. Whether it’s sunshine, cloud, or a classic April shower, these fun family adventures are made to be mess-friendly, memory-making, and packed with energy.

Here are 6 egg-citing outdoor activities for the Easter break – complete with ideas on where to go and what to wear, so your little ones can hop, skip, and splash in style.

1.    Garden Easter Egg Hunt (with a Twist)

Nothing compares to some seasonal fun. Start simple with a classic egg hunt in your own back garden – or go all out and head to a local park. You can even try a National Trust Easter trail as there are so many hosting them this holidays.

What they’ll need: A rain jacket for grassy knees and our magical colour-changing wellies for navigating muddy corners with style.

2. Visit a Local Farm or Petting Zoo

Spring is the cutest season at the farm – with lambs, chicks, and baby goats stealing the spotlight. Let your little ones get up close with the animals and learn about life on the land. It's the perfect place to spend a few hours, and many farms include a park for your children to run off some steam.

Look out for Easter events at farms like Odds Farm, Godstone Farm, or a farm local to you for some extra seasonal activities!

Gear up with: Our water-resistant rainwear is perfect for farmyard splashes, and don’t forget those wellies—mud is part of the fun!

3. Nature Trail Treasure Hunt

At Grass & Air, you know we love a scavenger hunt! Turn a walk into a springtime scavenger hunt by spotting signs of nature: daffodils, buzzing bees, fresh green leaves, and more. Your little ones could collect them as souvenirs, take pictures to keep or give them a fun list for them to tick off.

Wondering where to go? Head to a forest like Epping Forest or The New Forest, or explore a local nature reserve or woodland walk. 

4. Beach Day (Yes, Even in April!)

Don’t wait for summer— hit the beach! With all the warm weather recently, we have got super lucky so make the most of it. Paddling, rockpooling, sandcastle building—it’s all on the table. And even if the weather seems to cool, you can bundle up and have plenty of fun anyway.

Try the Jurassic Coast, Whitby Beach, or your nearest coastal spot for a breath of salty air. 

What to pack: Our comfy kids’ swimwear is perfect under layers, and our waterproofs keep sea spray (and snacks) dry.

5. Bunny Olympics in the Garden or Park

Looking for some at home fun? Hop like a bunny, balance an egg on a spoon, or run a relay in your very own garden. Then get ready to crown your own springtime champion. This is the kind of activity that is super simple and will keep your kids entertained for hours.

6. Explore a Woodland Fairy Trail or Sculpture Park

There are so many cool things to do near by. Many woodlands now have fairy trails or adventure paths among the trees. These paths are great for for a full morning of exploring and sparking imaginations. 

You can try places like Fforest Fawr Sculpture Trail (Wales), BeWILDerwood (Cheshire), or Fairy Glen (Scotland). 

Adventure essentials: Rainproof layers and colour-changing wellies make every step magical—especially if the trail includes a few muddy bits.
