It’s an egg-citing time of year to visit the Isle of Wight. Spring is (well hopefully) in the air as well as the scent of chocolate. We love this time of year, the days are a bit longer, the evenings are drawing out and everyone has a little ‘spring’ in their step. The Island’s attractions are open and ready to welcome excited families for a cracking Easter. So, check out our guide to the Easter Egg Hunts on the Isle of Wight and make unforgettable memories with your family.
The railway chicks have gone quackers at Havenstreet this Easter! Follow the clues as you explore the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. Can you find them all and claim your chocolatey prize? Join the Easter Bonnet Parade at 13:15 each day, with your hats prepared at home in advance.
Enjoy the magic of spring at Mottistone Gardens’ traditional Easter fayre, where wildlife characters are set to lead you on an amazing journey! Motty the Rabbit will kick things off, and then you’ll be off to assist Freddie the Frog onto his lily pad, egg-racing with Speedy the Swallow, free Prickle the Hedgehog from his winter nest, and so much more.
This event is ideal for families and nature lovers, celebrating the beauty of spring, the wonders of wildlife, and the magic that is Mottistone Gardens. Entry is £3.50 per person, which includes a dairy or vegan and free-from chocolate egg.
The Daisy Chain Annual Easter Egg Hunt is returning for 2025! Head to Brading Roman Villa for a fun-filled morning or afternoon with Daisy Chains. Search for hidden letters scattered around the villa grounds and solve the Easter anagram, or if you want something easier, look for the Easter pictures instead. Once you finish your challenge, head back to the villa to claim your egg!
The Easter Bunny Trail at Arreton Barns is back!
Head to Arreton Barns on Easter Sunday from 9:30 to 12:00. Hop around the Barns, collect letters, and solve the mystery words to claim your chocolate treat! It’s just £6 per child, and no need to book in advance – just turn up and join the fun!
Why not make a day of it? Book a table at The Dairyman’s Daughter and enjoy a delicious Easter Sunday lunch!
