Wild Science Presents An Easter Story

If you are looking for something to do with the kids this Easter weekend, there is an event happening at Saltdean Lido on Friday, 3 April 2026, that takes a slightly different approach to the usual holiday activities. Wild Science is hosting a session called 'An Easter Story', which moves away from the traditional chocolate egg hunt and focuses instead on an animal-themed adventure. It is designed for children under 10, though it is open to anyone up to 14 years old, provided they are accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

The session runs for exactly one hour, from 10:30 to 11:30, with doors opening at 10:25. The core of the event is an interactive workshop where children can learn about different animal species. The organisers have structured this to be hands-on, aiming to help kids feel more confident and curious when interacting with animals. Since it is taking place at the Saltdean Lido—a site that has seen recent renovations supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund—it is a good option if you want to get out of the house regardless of the weather, as the activity is indoors.

Tickets are priced at £8.41, and it is worth noting that these are non-refundable, so it is best to be sure of your plans before booking. If you are planning to drive, there is free parking available at the venue, which makes the logistics a bit easier. For those who might want to make a day of it, the location is relatively close to other spots like the Grange Museum Art Gallery & Tea Garden, which is about 0.71 miles away, or Kipling Gardens at 0.82 miles. Brighton Marina is also nearby, sitting about 2.69 miles from the Lido. It is a straightforward, educational morning out that keeps things simple and focused on the animals.
