It’s Easter and with a long-awaited four-day weekend, here’s my pick of things to do. Although, I’ve popped one cultural exhibition in there, I couldn’t help but sneak in an Easter egg hunt!
STOP
What: Lindt’s Big Egg Hunt
Where: Covent Garden, London
When: Until April 1
Entering its second year, Lindt’s Big Easter Egg Hunt hides over 100 giant Easter eggs across the city, raising money for children’s charity Action for Children in the process. The eggs have been designed by a number of well-known artists, including filmmaker and artist Sam Taylor-Wood. This year the iconic Lindt Gold Bunny will be handing out thousands of Lindt Gold Bunnies and Lindor truffles as well!
For those more design-orientated, the Design Museum are running an alternative Easter egg hunt. A printed trail will take visitors on an Easter journey throughout the museum’s current exhibitions and lead to a chocolately prize. And this is just any chocolately prize- participants will receive a mini chocolate egg courtesy of luxury chocolatier Rococo Chocolates at the end of their journey. Yum.
LOOK
What: The Independent Group: Parellel of Art & Life
Where: ICA, London
When: Until June 9
The ICA marks the 60th anniversary of the ground-breaking exhibition Parallel of Life & Art with an exhibition of original art works by the Independent Group. The Independent Group met at the original ICA in Dover Street from 1952-5 and comprised architects Alison and Peter Smithson, James Stirling and Colin St John Wilson; artists Magda Cordell, Richard Hamilton, Nigel Henderson, John McHale, Eduardo Paolozzi and William Turnbull; music producer Frank Cordell and writers Lawrence Alloway, Reyner Banham and Toni del Renzio.
LISTEN
What: Can’t Buy Me Love
Where: Boogaloo, London
When: March 30
This vintage market and jumble sale returns to the Boogaloo in Highgate for an Easter special. There’ll be hot-cross buns, slices of cake, Easter egg hunts, as well as a mountain of jumble to rummage through and DJ’s playing rock’n’roll tunes.
What are you doing this weekend?
