Buyer's tips
- Plan the route first. Mark the boundaries before hiding, so toddlers don't wander and older kids get a proper challenge.
- Match the clues to the age. Picture signs for under-fives, written clues for over-sevens; one prize per child avoids tears.
- Order chocolate by early March. Popular Lindt and Cadbury lines sell out the week before Easter; order ahead.
- When to buy. Easter kit discounts in the two weeks before the bank holiday. For live pricing and the full event, see our Easter deals 2027 hub, updated as the date approaches.
FAQ
When is Easter 2027 in the UK? Easter Sunday 2027 falls on 28 March, with the bank holiday weekend running from Good Friday (26 March) to Easter Monday (29 March).
Indoor or outdoor Easter egg hunt? Both work. An outdoor garden hunt is more fun if the weather holds; an indoor hunt with clue signs is the reliable backup for a wet bank holiday.
