🐣 Easter in Dulwich & Herne Hill: Local Events Families Love
Spring is one of the most magical times of year in Dulwich and Herne Hill. As the days grow longer and the parks begin to bloom, the neighbourhood fills with families enjoying the Easter holidays together. From creative workshops to egg hunts and outdoor trails, there’s plenty happening locally to keep little ones entertained.
It’s exactly this family-friendly lifestyle that draws so many buyers to SE21 and SE24 — and Easter is a perfect time to experience it.
Here are some of the lovely events and activities happening locally this Easter.
🥚 Easter Adventures in Brockwell Park
Brockwell Park is a favourite for families all year round, but it really comes alive during the Easter holidays. With wide open lawns, playgrounds and woodland paths, it’s the perfect setting for informal Easter egg hunts and springtime picnics. Many local families organise their own egg hunts here over the long Easter weekend, and community groups often host seasonal activities for children in the park. After the hunt, you’ll often see families heading to the café, playground or even the nearby lido for a relaxed afternoon. With views across London and acres of green space, it’s easy to see why homes near Brockwell Park are always in high demand.
🎨 Easter Festival Fun at Dulwich Picture Gallery
One of the highlights of the local Easter calendar is the Eggstravaganza: Easter Family Festival at the Dulwich Picture Gallery.
Taking place on 29 March 2026, this family day is packed with spring-themed activities including creative workshops, face painting and craft stations. Children can even design their own bunny ears or create badges to take home as souvenirs. Alongside the festival, the gallery is also hosting a Family Wild Life Drawing – Easter Special, where children can meet friendly animals such as rabbits, chicks and ducks while taking part in a guided drawing session. Events like these are a wonderful example of the cultural experiences available right on residents’ doorsteps — one of the reasons Dulwich remains such a sought-after neighbourhood for families.
🌿 Spring Trails and Crafts at Horniman Museum and Gardens
A short trip from Dulwich brings you to the beautiful Horniman Museum and Gardens, a brilliant destination for a day out during the Easter holidays. The museum regularly hosts seasonal craft workshops, family activities and nature trails throughout the spring holidays, encouraging children to explore the gardens, learn about wildlife and take part in hands-on creative activities.
Between the gardens, the nature trail and the famous animal walk, it’s a place where families can easily spend an entire afternoon.
🐰 Easter Trails in Belair Park
Belair Park is one of those local gems that residents love to share with friends and family. Nestled between Dulwich and Herne Hill, it’s a peaceful green space that’s perfect for a springtime stroll or Easter adventure. During the holidays you’ll often find families creating their own Easter trails, hiding eggs around the park’s woodland paths and open lawns. Pack a picnic, bring a blanket, and it’s the perfect way to enjoy a sunny spring afternoon.
