Easter Adventures Await in Great Yarmouth!

Great Yarmouth comes alive during Easter! The air is filled with the scent of the sea, and the town buzzes with excitement. It’s a brilliant time to escape for a family holiday and create lasting memories. Forget chocolate egg comas at home – come and experience the thrill of the seaside!

Egg-cellent Easter Egg Hunts

No Easter is complete without a good old-fashioned Easter egg hunt! Keep an eye on local event listings and community groups for details of organised hunts taking place across Great Yarmouth. Many parks and gardens host special Easter events, offering children the chance to search for hidden treasures.

For example, keep your eyes peeled for events held at the beautiful Venetian Waterways, a short drive from the St George Hotel. They often host family-friendly activities during school holidays, including Easter egg hunts and craft sessions. Or check out what’s happening at nearby Burgh Castle, a Roman fort with stunning views.

Seaside Fun on Great Yarmouth's Golden Mile

Of course, the main attraction in Great Yarmouth is the beach! The Golden Mile is packed with attractions to keep children entertained for hours. Building sandcastles, paddling in the sea (weather permitting!), and enjoying traditional seaside treats like fish and chips are all must-do activities.

The Wellington Pier, just opposite the St George Hotel, offers classic arcade games and amusements. And for thrill-seekers, the Pleasure Beach is a short walk away (about 8 minutes), promising adrenaline-pumping rides and attractions for all ages.

Animal Encounters at SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth

For a fascinating and educational experience, head to SEA LIFE Great Yarmouth, just a 3-minute walk from our hotel. Discover amazing marine creatures from around the world, from sharks and sea turtles to colourful reef fish. It’s a great way to learn about the ocean and its inhabitants.

SEA LIFE often runs special events during the Easter holidays, so check their website for details of themed activities and talks. They are also very active on social media.

Explore the Norfolk Broads

Just a short drive (3 miles) from Great Yarmouth lies the stunning Norfolk Broads. Why not take a boat trip and explore the waterways? Many boatyards offer day rentals, allowing you to explore at your own pace. Keep an eye out for wildlife, including birds, ducks, and even otters!

Alternatively, you can enjoy a leisurely walk along the Broads, taking in the beautiful scenery. Pack a picnic and make a day of it!

Easter Entertainment and Shows

Many of Great Yarmouth's theatres and entertainment venues put on special shows and performances during the Easter holidays. Check local listings for family-friendly plays, musicals, and live music events. These are a great way to add some culture and entertainment to your Easter break.
