Easter Half Term Events & Activities in Kent

Easter Half Term in Kent for 2026 will run from Monday, 6th April to Friday 17th. Spread over two weeks, either side of the Easter weekend, it’s a great time for family fun, adventures, and activities. It’s also a great time for visiting Kent, as there are an extra two hours of sunlight per day as opposed to March, and April is one of the driest months of the year for rainfall in Kent – expect Easter egg hunts, wildlife encounters, exciting meet and greets, and gardens bursting into bloom.
