Easter is late this year and comes at the
end of the Easter holidays, but never fear,
Oxted is packed with fantastic family-
friendly activities throughout April to
keep everyone entertained!
We start off the month in a musical with
Rodgers & Hammerstein with The Oxted
Musical Theatre Co (2nd-5th April at
The Barn Theatre) and visit the Spring
Open Day at The Woodhouse Centre
(3rd April, 9.30AM-12.30PM) when you
can find out about all the crafts and
activities available. Tandridge Leisure
Centre will be running plenty of activities
and swimming courses, including Artistic
Swimming (aka Synchro)!
The library is hosting plenty of free and low-cost activities, including a
Mini Easter Library Trail (5th-19th April), Easter-themed Storytime (8th
April), Easter Crafternoon (10th April), and a Lego Easter Challenge (16th
April, booking essential). Meanwhile, The Woodhouse Centre has creative
workshops like Felt Rabbit Making (5th April) and Kids Art Workshops
(15th-17th April).
On 12th April, the town centre comes alive with the Easter Bunny Family
Fun Day, featuring face painting, and special appearances from the Easter
Bunny and the Mad Hatter. Families can also take part in the Easter Trail
from 12th to 19th April, with trail sheets available online or from the
library, plus an activity book to download from the Love Oxted website.
Other highlights over the Easter holidays include Benson’s Family Fun
Fair (11th-20th April at Master Park), Easter bonnet making (17th April
at Desserts & Crafts), the Easter Craft Morning (18th April at Oxted
Community Hall), and the Fairytale Sing-Along with Everlasting Events
(19th April at The Barn Theatre). Finish the celebrations with your little
ones on Easter Sunday with an Easter Egg Hunt with Peter Rabbit (20th
April) at Playhouse Oxted.
Looking ahead, Surrey Day on 10th May is set to be a fantastic WW2-
themed event, coinciding with VE Day 80. Expect an afternoon of family
fun with live music from The Oxted Band, our local Rock Choir, and
Sing It Out Choir, plus performances from Miss Molly Moonshine, street
entertainers, and a display of classic wartime vehicles from Classic Car
Connection. Be sure to pop the date in your diary! In conjunction with
Visit Surrey and BBC Radio Surrey (who will do a life cross at 12.10),
activities run from 12-4pm (cars from 12-3pm).
