Open Afternoon at Steamworks, Southwold

5 April 2026

Southwold always draws a crowd during Easter, and the Steamworks open day adds an extra reason to visit. This event offers a fascinating look into the area’s railway history, with guided tours that bring the past to life. Visitors can explore the site, learn about the heritage of the Southwold Railway, and enjoy refreshments at the café. It’s an ideal choice for those who enjoy something a little different, combining history, engineering, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere. Many of our passengers choose to turn this into a full day in Southwold, making the most of the town’s shops, beach, and scenic views.

Easter Adventures at Dunwich Heath, Dunwich

28 March – 6 April 2026

One of the first major Easter events our drivers start taking bookings for is Dunwich Heath, and it’s easy to see why. Set against a stunning coastal backdrop, this event blends fresh sea air with interactive family fun. Children can follow a themed trail alongside Bunny and Chick, completing activities that encourage exploration of nature while keeping things playful and engaging. Parents often tell us it’s the perfect balance between an outdoor walk and structured entertainment, especially for younger children who need variety to stay engaged. The addition of bunny ears and a chocolate egg at the end gives it that classic Easter excitement, while the scenic surroundings make it just as enjoyable for adults. With parking often limited during peak times, many families choose to book a taxi to make the day feel more relaxed from start to finish.

Somerleyton Hall Gardens Easter Egg Hunt, Somerleyton

1 – 6 April 2026

Somerleyton Hall is one of those destinations that feels like a true escape, and during Easter it becomes even more special. The gardens provide a stunning setting for a traditional Easter egg hunt, with winding paths, hidden clues, and beautifully maintained landscapes creating a magical atmosphere. Families often describe it as a “storybook” experience, where children can explore freely while parents enjoy the scenery. The reward of an Easter egg at the end adds to the excitement, but it’s the setting itself that makes this event stand out. From our experience, this is a popular choice for those looking to combine a special occasion feel with a relaxed day out. Booking transport in advance is highly recommended, especially during weekends when demand increases.

8. The Suffolk Garden Show, Ipswich

4 – 6 April 2026

Closer to home, the Suffolk Garden Show at Trinity Park is one of the biggest events of the Easter weekend. It attracts visitors from across the region, with stalls, demonstrations, and exhibits covering everything from plants and gardening advice to homeware and local produce. It’s not just for keen gardeners either; many people attend for the food, shopping, and overall atmosphere. From a transport perspective, this is one of the busiest events we cover, and booking a taxi can save significant time compared to navigating traffic and parking on-site.

9. British Country Show, Henham Park

9 – 10 April 2026

This is one of the most varied and action-packed events of the Easter period. The British Country Show offers something for everyone, from horse riding and dog shows to motorbike stunts and artisan stalls. It’s the kind of event where you can spend the entire day without running out of things to see or do. Families, couples, and groups all attend, making it one of the most diverse events on the calendar. Due to its scale, transport planning is key, and many visitors opt for a taxi to avoid long queues and ensure a smooth journey.

10. Peter Pan Pantomime, Aldeburgh

10 – 12 April 2026

Rounding off the Easter period, the Peter Pan pantomime at Jubilee Hall offers a classic theatre experience filled with music, humour, and family-friendly entertainment. It’s a great way to wind down after a busy holiday, providing a more relaxed but equally memorable outing. The show’s lively performances and familiar story make it a hit with audiences of all ages, and it’s often one of the final events families attend before returning to normal routines.

10. Needle Felted Garden Bird Workshop at Carlton Marshes
