Suffolk Easter Events 2026
Well, we’re back again with an Easter event blog - I don’t know why this seems to have become an annual theme, and I haven’t gotten around to posting much else this past year! There are always plenty of things on at Easter though, and I’m just so excited to share them as I know how tricky it can be to plan things for the holidays.

Be sure to explore. Situated in the stunning Christchurch Park - which is worth a visit alone - Christchurch Mansion is a treasure trove of fascination waiting to be explored. Take on Woolly’s Bird Trail, cuddle some fluffy animals, create some Easter hand puppets or cards, join some of the Constable-themed craft sessions on offer as part of the Constable 250 Project, or join Mini Mansions toddler sessions. Also worth a look are the Twilight Tours, each with a different theme. Many are adult-only, but a special Easter Family Twilight Tour is happening. Having been on the Christmas family one, these are well worth going to, as you get to explore areas of the mansion usually closed to the public. We’re also super excited for the re-opening of Ipswich museum hopefully later this year or next!!

The last few years, Hall Farm has hosted a little Easter egg hunt on their trail, so I’m hazarding a guess that this year will be the same. We love this trail - it’s a really reasonable price, there are lots of lovely animals (including lambs right now!) to see and feed, and numerous play areas along the trail, featuring a real boat, swing tyre, tractors and a large digger to climb on, as well as a play castle on a hill. What’s more, the cafe and farm shop are right next door, selling a range of delicious food and drink, ideal if you need to dash in after a sudden turn of weather.

Have you seen the events on offer at Snape Maltings and The Red House, Aldeburgh? We went to see Concerteenies last year, and it was so brilliant we can’t wait to catch it again this time, for a different story. Featuring live musicians, an immersive story with songs to learn and join in, and crafts to complete afterward, this is a treat for the whole family and a fabulous way to introduce little ones to music and storytelling. There are lots of other Easter events and classes for little ones on too, such as Mini Music Makers.
