Easter can be a wonderful time to explore London with your child — but busy attractions and loud environments aren’t always ideal for neurodivergent children.
Thankfully, many venues across London offer SEN‑friendly sessions, calm activities, and sensory‑supportive environments designed with autistic and neurodivergent children in mind.
Below is your complete guide, starting with actual Easter events first (egg hunts, sensory play, lamb feeding and farm events), followed by additional options like museums, immersive experiences, theatre and more. All events now indicate whether they are free or paid.
