Southampton's Easter Trail

Southampton Easter Trail 2025

4th - 21st April 2025

Over the Easter holidays, get ready for an egg-citing adventure in Southampton's Cultural Quarter with our brand-new, free family trail.

Spring has arrived in the city, and the Easter Bunny has been busy getting their garden ready for the season. But oh no—some cheeky little chicks have run off with some of the Easter Bunny’s gardening tools and hidden them around the city. Now, it’s up to you to help find them.

Follow the map and look for the trail posters at each stop. Each poster has a missing item—write it down as you go. Once you've found them all, hop over to the final stop, SeaCity Museum, where children will receive a small prize for all their hard work.
