As Easter approaches, families and chocolate enthusiasts are gearing up for the most egg-citing event of the spring season – The Easter Egg Hunt at St. Katharine Docks.
Making its grand return to one of London’s most gorgeous waterside spots, the annual Easter Egg Hunt promises four days filled with excitement, exploration, and plenty of Easter goodness.
A free event over the Easter weekend (April 18-21), visitors of all ages are invited to grab a reusable egg box from The Haven Building and embark on their very own chocolate treasure quest around the historic docks. Children and adults alike will hunt for golden eggs by following clues throughout the picturesque estate, while soaking up the architectural landmarks, including Ivory House, Marble Quay, and the Coronarium.
But the excitement doesn’t end with the egg hunt. A gourmet prize draw will take place, where one lucky participant can win a luxurious Afternoon Tea for four at the Tower Hotel, St Katharine Docks.
And if all that hunting works up an appetite, you’re in the right place – restaurants around the docks will be running special offers throughout the weekend, perfect for refuelling while you enjoy views of the estate, and the boats moored in this charming marina.
Open Friday 18th – Monday 21st April from 12 pm – 4 pm daily, with hourly start times, the 2025 Easter Egg Hunt is set to be a fun-filled and memorable experience for the entire family.
