Last year we did our own little Easter Egg hunt in the garden. Whilst the kids enjoyed hooning round looking for small foil-covered eggs, we realised its limitations when Middle Child announced afterwards he didn't like them anyway so ended up with no treasure (poor chap), and frankly they were far too easy to find in the first place.

So we decided for this year we would take them to an organised Easter Egg Hunt and let someone else take the blame if was a 'bit rubbish'. Parental cop-out? No, just survival instincts.

A few years ago we spent Easter in Swanage in Dorset, and took part in a full-on Easter Egg Trail through the dunes and the brush behind the beach. The children absolutely loved it, and enjoyed the sense of competition with the other kids. No beaches in Bromley, but sand's not essential for Easter anyway is it?

I've had a quick look round for Easter Egg Hunts and other Eastery activities, and listed a few below for you.

There are loads of events, clubs and classes listed on thebestof Bromley's Events pages, so check it out for full listings.
