Easter Activities for Children in Cornwall — 2026
Spring has arrived! Easter in Cornwall is the perfect time for your family to explore and enjoy a little seasonal magic. We’ve designed Ekopod to help you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and spend quality time together. Your glamping stay is screen-free, so your kids can immerse themselves in the outdoors. They can play in our little mud kitchen, build sandcastles in the pirate ship sandpit, and use our guides to spot birds and stars right from your pod. You can gather around your fire pit to toast marshmallows and enjoy those simple, joyful moments together. Meanwhile, you can take some time for yourself and unwind in our wild spa, soaking up the peace and quiet of our secluded site.
When you want to head out, Cornwall has a wonderful mix of family-friendly attractions and seasonal Easter events. From rides and puzzle trails to coasteering, surfing, and outdoor adventures, there’s plenty for you and your family to enjoy. Here’s our round-up of the best things to do with children over Easter 2026.
