Easter in Exeter

This Easter half term, our city is packed with 'egg-citing' activites for the entire family to hop into.

It wouldn't be Easter without an Easter egg hunt! Head to Babbacombe Model Village to find the colourful eggs hidden in and around the gardens, where all successful young explorers will enjoy a chocolatey treat. Help the Easter Bunny find the eggs dotted around Bear Town for a tasty reward. Don't miss the chance to win a bag of marshmallows and a sticker after completing Bernaville Nurseries' Easter in-store trail! Look out for the ginormous, colourful Easter eggs at the RHS Garden Rosemoor within 65 acres of magical greenland.

Take a breath of fresh air and enjoy our city's green, wide open spaces. Follow the Easter Nature Trail at The Donkey Sanctuary and receive an Easter treat once spotting all the wildlife along the way. Discover your wild side at Haldon Forest Park and embark on the Superworm Trail, as you find small but mighty creatures and learn about the everyday heroic feats of minibeasts in the forest. Alternatively, let the older ones sit in the driving seat at Land Rover West Country for an 'off-roader' experience as they have fun tackling slopes, negotiating obstacles and driving through deep water.

Visit Exeter's theatre's for shows guaranteed to entertain the whole family. Take a seat and chuckle along with Gangta Granny at Exeter Northcott, or catch Jabala and The Jinn at Exeter Phoenix.

Spring back to Crealy Adventure Park, with the most theme park rides in Devon and over 60 attractions to choose from. For animal lovers, the World of Country Life in Exmouth is a great day out for all the family, 

Exeter’s Royal Albert Memorial Museum has some special, family-friendly events during the Easter holidays including mosaic and bead making, plus discover the 16 galleries of fascinating exhibits! Be fascinated by the stories of Exeter's turbulent history on a Red Coat Guided Tour, free daily walking tours around our city. Don't forget to stop by our magnificent Exeter Cathedral, packed full of 900 years of history, this majestic building is one of the great cathedrals of England, and one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture to be found anywhere.

Challenge yourself with new heights at the recently-opened The Climbing Hangar or rent a paddleboard, kayak or canoe at AS Watersports or Saddles and Paddles and try something new along Exeter Quay then sit back and relax as you admire the gorgeous views. Check out the activity programmes at Haven Banks Outdoor Education Centre - you will not be disappointed. 

If the weather isn't looking too great, our city is full of indoor activities and attractions including escape rooms, climbing centres, board game cafés and leisure centres, to keep the kids happy!
