What's On
Spring has arrived in the city, and the Easter Bunny has been busy getting their garden ready for the season.
The Easter Trail will be returning to Southampton’s Old Town from Saturday 28 March – Sunday 12 April 2026, encouraging hundreds of families into the city centre over the Easter break.
Running each day from 10am – 5pm, families will use a map to find colourful clue posters around the area before heading to an end location where children can collect a small prize and over 18s can enter a prize draw for the chance to win tickets to a show at Southampton Summer Sessions this June.
More information, along with a list of map collection points, can be found on the Easter Trail page on the Visit Southampton website.
