Hever Castle

Hever Castle is a historic gem, once the childhood home of Anne Boleyn, boasting stunning gardens and a rich Tudor past. This Easter, the castle grounds come alive with playful mischief as rabbits cause havoc, even staging their own whimsical tea party. Families can follow a trail to help Mr Miller round up the furry culprits and claim a chocolate prize. Children can get creative with Easter crafts, plant cress to take home, or enjoy themed face painting on select dates. With adventure playgrounds, intricate mazes, and gardens in full spring bloom, there’s plenty to keep all ages entertained.
The Historic Dockyard Chatham

Step back in time at The Historic Dockyard Chatham, a maritime treasure trove where centuries of naval history come to life. Climb aboard historic vessels like HMS Gannet and HM Submarine Ocelot, and dive into immersive exhibitions such as ‘Command of the Oceans’ and ‘Hearts of Oak’. Little explorers can get hands-on with activities at No.1 Smithery or uncover the craft of rope-making at The Ropery. You’ll never be bored here as there are lots of events and activities running throughout the season.
Dreamland

Dreamland Margate kicks off its 2025 season this spring, bringing vintage seaside charm and plenty of thrills to the coast. From classic fairground rides and rollercoasters to retro roller skating in the Roller Room, there’s fun at every turn. Food stalls serve up tasty bites, arcades buzz with energy, and the new Free Roaming VR experience adds a futuristic twist. Open daily throughout the Easter holidays with free entry, visitors can grab a Mega Ride or Tiny Tot Wristband for unlimited rides, making it easy to soak up a full day of nostalgia and excitement by the sea.
Leeds Castle

Set against the backdrop of one of England’s most picturesque castles, Leeds Castle in Kent offers over 900 years of history, from a Norman stronghold to a Tudor palace. This Easter, families can step into a medieval adventure with a quest to retrieve the legendary Golden Shield. Budding knights can design their own crest, hone sword skills, and take inspiration from the castle’s majestic birds of prey. Wander through the sprawling gardens, tackle interactive challenges, and, for those bold enough to complete the quest, claim a gold coin reward – or even a knighthood. It’s a playful way to bring history to life in truly regal surroundings.
Betteshanger Park

Betteshanger Park offers a blend of nature, adventure, and discovery. This Easter, join Billy the Easter Bunny on a woodland trail to solve clues, track down missing eggs, and earn a chocolatey reward – with a photo opportunity to capture the moment. Beyond the trail, the park is brimming with activities, from cycling through lush landscapes and testing your aim at archery to fossil hunting and exploring outdoor play zones. Whether you’re seeking thrills or a peaceful escape into nature, Betteshanger Park promises a vibrant spring day out for all ages.
