Easter Activities at One Garden
An eggs-exhilarating Easter adventure awaits at the beautiful One Garden Brighton for all the family, from the 8th to the 24th of April. Tucked away in the beautiful surroundings of Stanmer Park, there couldn’t be a better place to soak up the first signs of spring.
Not only is entry free but from 9:30 am to 5 pm daily, the whole family can enjoy a huge range of seasonal activities, all designed to get kids in touch with nature, animals and the Easter period.
For a bit of an exploration, why not enjoy the spring weather with the free Garden Easter Egg Hunt in the themed gardens? See if your little ones can find all the eggs to spell out a Spring word. If you’d prefer arts and crafts, have a go at some self-led Easter Bunny Origami, perfect for older children.
On the 12th, 15th, 18th and 19th April, from 10 am till 4 pm, some egg-stra (sorry) special activities are on offer for just £1 per child. Get in tune with the season of growing, by planting and decorating your very own wildflower seed pots, which you can take home and watch grow! Or, let your creativity run wild by creating your own vibrant Easter Egg designs using tissue paper.
With such a range of activities on offer, from gardening, and exploring to arts and crafts, One Garden is a must-visit this Easter.

Pinot & Picasso Family Painting Class
For the budding (pardon the pun) artists among you, why not visit Pinot and Picasso for a very special painting party experience? In this one-of-a-kind event, you can channel your creativity to produce a cracking (sorry) painting entitled “A Good Egg” on Wednesday the 3rd of April, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm.
Pinot and Picasso’s expert colleagues will guide you and your little ones (aged 6 and over) through every step of the process, to create a picturesque scene of blue skies, a green daisy field and a soft-pink Easter egg of your very own design.
Priced at just £20.00 per ticket, this eggceptional event promises a fabulous afternoon of creativity, with a fully-stocked bar of soft and alcoholic drinks, and free squash for the kids. All the art materials needed are supplied, and you leave with your very own piece of artwork to take home and decorate the house with.
BYO chocolates (use up those leftover Easter eggs!) or snacks and get ready for an egg-shell-ent time.
When: Wednesday the 3rd of April – 2 pm – 4 pm
Where: Pinot & Picasso Brighton Venue, 127 Gloucester Road, Brighton, BN1 4AF
