Things to Do Easter London 2026

Easter 2026 in London falls between Friday 3 April and Monday 6 April, with school holidays running for two weeks either side. Families visiting London during Easter have a wide range of indoor and outdoor activities to choose from, including immersive experiences, museums, and seasonal events. One of the newest options is Immersia XR, an immersive experience at Waterloo Station where visitors walk through stories using lightweight VR headsets.

Why Families Are Choosing Immersive Experiences This Easter

Over 7,000 visitors experienced Immersia XR during its Manchester pop-up run. Now open daily at The Sidings, Waterloo Station, the venue offers six different story-led experiences that work for ages 5 and above. Easter visitors are choosing indoor immersive experiences because London weather in early April is unpredictable, and a 30-minute walkthrough experience keeps children engaged without the fatigue of a full-day attraction.

What Makes Immersia XR Different from Other Easter Activities

Immersia XR is an XR Walking Theatre — a format where visitors physically walk through scenes rather than sitting in a chair or standing in one spot. This is what sets it apart from standard VR arcades and passive immersive exhibitions. Each of the six experiences tells a complete story in approximately 30 minutes: Alice in Wonderland takes visitors through Wonderland’s key scenes, Moon Landing recreates the Apollo 11 mission, Tales of Aladdin brings the classic story to life, Journey to the Centre of the Earth follows the underground expedition, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea explores the ocean depths, and Eternal Tang Dynasty transports visitors to ancient China.

The lightweight VR headsets are designed for comfort, and the walking format means visitors are active participants rather than passive observers. Staff are present throughout, and visitors can remove the headset at any time if they need a break. This makes it particularly suitable for families with children who may be trying VR for the first time.

For Easter 2026, the venue is running extended hours and the promo code XREASTER20 gives 20% off bookings. Sessions run every few minutes, so there is rarely a long wait even during busy holiday periods.

Planning Your Easter Visit

The Sidings is at ground level in Waterloo Station, making it easy to reach by train, tube, or bus. The location means families can combine it with other South Bank activities — the London Eye, SEA LIFE London, and the Southbank Centre are all within walking distance. The experience takes about 30 minutes, so it fits easily into a half-day itinerary without dominating the schedule.

Immersia XR is open Monday to Friday 11am–7:30pm and Saturday to Sunday 10am–7:30pm throughout the Easter holidays. Advance booking is recommended during peak periods. Tickets are available at feverup.com/m/474855.
