With all the free time this Easter weekend, it would be a waste not to enjoy London’s best offerings. Get out there and enjoy the first glimpses of spring.
To help you sort through the abundance of events on this weekend, we’ve selected our top 5 events for design mavens:
Pop up Makers Market at the V&A Museum of Childhood – Good Friday @ 12 noon.
30 traders with a workshop corner too.
Flotilla at Merchant Square – until Sunday 1st
As part of Merchant Square’s series of mindful events, Flotilla is a set of illuminated origami boats by artist Steve Messam. They look like white ‘paper’ creations by day and light up at night to set the canal gleaming with a changing pattern of illuminated colours.
Mindscapes at boo.lee gallery – Peckham – until the 28th April
This mind-blowing exhibition explores liminal spaces – a place somewhere between one that exists and one that is conjured up in the mind’s eye. Artists include Sue Williams A’Court, Hannah Brown, David Kowalski and Anouk Mercier.
Horniman Easter fair – this Saturday & Sunday – Horniman Museum, Forest Hill
This one gets the whole family together for a proper Easter event – an Easter trail! You can also create something crafty in one of their workshops, have your face painted, have a peek at the family-friendly theatre and join in family activities across the Gardens.
Easter Egg-travaganza at QUEENS, Queensway – 23 March-2 April
The most fabulous of the lot! QUEENS Skate Dine Bowl is throwing an Easter Egg-stravaganza! Using Easter egg-shaped bowling bowls, you’ll battle it out with family and friends to win the biggest chocolate Easter Egg.
