Theatre

We’re Going On A Bear Hunt

Polka Theatre

A brilliant play for the family this Easter bank holiday based on the iconic children’s book!

A family go on an expedition of a lifetime – running down the grassy bank, wading through the cold river, squelching over the oozy mud, stumbling into the dark forest, then peering into a cave… what will they find?

This smash-hit musical follows Jenna, a waitress and expert pie-maker who dreams of happiness. Starring Carrie Hope-Fletcher!

Food

Light on the Common

Wimbledon Village

Taking the family out for brunch this bank holiday? Offering gorgeous views of the common whilst you enjoy your food, Light on the Common is a great choice to consider. Enjoy dishes of poached or scrambled eggs on artisanal sourdough, Turkish eggs, salt beef hash, and sauteed mushrooms and spinach on toast, alongside smoothies, pancakes, and simple sandwiches.

Family fun

Easter Egg Hunt

Wimbledon Quarter

Wimbledon Quarter’s self-guided Easter Egg Hunt is a great way to keep the family entertained throughout the Easter weekend. It’s free to join and all you need to do is pick up your map from the M&S or Boots entrances on the ground floor.
