Travel
This month, visit artist Anna Bruder’s line-drawn flower shop, get lost among monumental Henry Moores at Kew and bury your feet in the sand as east London’s favourite urban beach makes a welcome return.
Which sounds like a bit of a weird boast when that grand total is two, but then this is London, where space to install humongous snaking waterslides comes at a massive premium.
It’s easy to be dismissive of massive London tourist attractions when you’re a Londoner. In fact, rolling your eyes at anything considered even remotely touristy is almost a condition of living here.
Yes, Roma might have been to practically every playground and play cafe in the capital but all she really wants to do is go to Shrek’s Adventure… again.
The Southbank Centre is the place to be this half term, with plenty of high-energy fun to fill you with the joys of spring.
This month, follow egg, bunny and elephant trails across London; help create a collaborative installation at Tate Modern; and immerse yourself in a jurassic jungle at the Brunswick Centre.
Community and collaboration is the theme of the Southbank Centre’s egg-cellent Easter programme, which includes theatre, dance, play and art workshops, plus free activities all the family can enjoy.
This month, take your favourite toy to the theatre, pet a weird menagerie in an even weirder museum, and immerse yourself in a world of fairytales.
This month, meet children’s poet Michael Rosen, immerse yourself in a giant arts-and-crafts art installation, and dance along to Golden at a KPop Demon Hunters party.
