Spring is in the air across Barnet, and with the Easter holidays just around the corner, there’s plenty to keep families, couples, and local residents entertained. Whether you’re after fun activities for the kids, ways to explore the great outdoors, or community events to join, our Chas Lowe guide has you covered.
Creative Easter Fun for Kids
Looking for hands-on activities over the break? Local favourites like Barnet Museum are hosting Easter craft workshops, perfect for children and families. These drop-in sessions offer the chance to get creative, learn a little local history, and make something to take home — ideal for a fun afternoon outing.
Tip: These sessions are free, but spaces can fill up fast, so arrive early to avoid disappointment!
Holiday Camps to Keep Kids Active
For those planning ahead, Barnet’s holiday activity camps are a fantastic option. Multi-sports and performing arts programmes, including those at Whitings Hill Primary School, run throughout the Easter break. From team games and dance to drama and outdoor play, these camps help children stay active, social, and entertained.
Perfect if you’re balancing work commitments or simply want your children to make the most of their time off.
Seasonal Shows & Family-Friendly Events
Easter is always a busy time for local events. From themed family shows to seasonal discos and performances, Barnet’s community centres and local listings offer plenty of ways to enjoy wholesome fun close to home — and meet your neighbours along the way.
Explore Trent Park
If you’re looking for a bigger outdoor adventure, Trent Park is a local gem. With its sprawling woodlands, scenic lake, and open fields, it’s perfect for a spring walk or picnic. For something more active, try Go Ape’s treetop adventure or hit the greens at the park’s golf course. Trent Park has something for everyone — from kids enjoying nature to adults seeking adventure or a leisurely day out.
Day Trips & Local Adventures
Fancy venturing a little further? Nearby attractions, seasonal trails, and family-friendly gardens host Easter activities throughout April — ideal for a weekend trip or a spring day out with loved ones.
Quick Holiday Tips
-
School holidays usually run from late March to mid-April, with Easter weekend (Good Friday to Easter Monday) being the perfect time to plan activities.
-
If you’re travelling over the break, rail services can be busier or subject to engineering works — check ahead before you set off.
