If you’re planning a fun and affordable Easter with the kids, Bognor Regis is bursting with family-friendly things to do. Whether you’re local or visiting for the weekend, we’ve pulled together the ultimate guide to help you make the most of your time with activities that are entertaining, educational and packed with value.

Here’s how to plan the ultimate Easter itinerary in Bognor Regis – with a mix of creative workshops, seaside fun, play zones and chocolate stops your little ones will love.

Tee Off with Mini Golf on the seafront

Let off some steam with a round of mini golf at Waterloo Square (just opposite the pier). It’s fun, active and just the right level of challenge for ages 3+. Being just a stone’s throw from the beach and so many eateries, you can make a full day of it.

Catch a Film at The Picturedrome

For a rainy day or a cosy afternoon, head to The Picturedrome. This independent cinema offers family-friendly screenings at great prices, with a vintage atmosphere and comfy seats. Children’s tickets are excellent value – ideal for budget-conscious families.

Get Creative at Rose Green Centre of Art and Craft

Kick off the holidays with a bit of imagination! The Rose Green Centre of Art and Craft hosts regular workshops for children and families during school holidays. Expect a welcoming atmosphere, plenty of paint, and a chance for your kids to take home their very own Easter-themed masterpieces.

Easter stories at Bognor Regis Library

Stop by the Library for an Easter-themed storytime session or craft activity. With free events throughout the school holidays, it’s a calm and educational option that young children love. Free entry, with friendly staff and baby-change facilities available.

Explore and play at Hotham Park

Hotham Park is a brilliant spot for an Easter day out, offering something for everyone in the family. Little ones will love the large, well-maintained play area, while parents can enjoy a relaxing stroll around the park’s gardens and boating lake. The miniature train is always a hit, and there’s a lovely café with indoor and outdoor seating, making it a great place to pause for lunch or a warm drink. Ideal for picnics, nature trails and a bit of fresh air between activities.

Burn off energy at The Arena or Arun Leisure Centre

Whether it’s swimming, soft play, or joining a holiday sports camp, both The Arena Sports Centre and Arun Leisure Centre offer great ways to keep active over Easter. Booking ahead is advised during busy periods.

Experience Butlin’s

If you’re not staying on-site, Butlin’s offers day passes where you can enjoy rides, shows, the splash pool, and more. It’s a higher-budget option, but excellent for a full day of guaranteed fun – especially if the weather takes a turn.

Ride the Bognor Regis Promenade Train

A favourite for little ones, the promenade train runs along the seafront and is a charming way to explore the coast without tiring little legs. It’s also a great add-on if you’re spending time at the beach, visiting the pier, or heading to the arcade.

Visit Unique Knit & Sew

Pop into Unique Knit and Sew for creative inspiration! It’s a hidden gem for crafty families looking to try something new – from simple sewing projects to more advanced designs for older children.

Sweet Treats at The Sweet Jar

No Easter is complete without a visit to a traditional sweet shop. The Sweet Jar offers everything from classic pick ‘n’ mix to themed chocolate treats. It’s also a lovely way to reward good behaviour (or fuel up between activities!).

Arcade fun on the pier

If your kids love flashing lights and fun prizes, the Bognor Regis arcade is a must. While it’s easy to lose track of time (and coins!), you can set a small budget and enjoy the nostalgic fun of 2p machines and mini games.

Playtime at Little Piggies Soft Play Café

Perfect for younger children (and tired parents), Little Piggies is a relaxed café with a safe and engaging soft play area. Enjoy a coffee while the kids climb, slide and play in a space designed with families in mind. A lifesaver on rainy days or as a wind-down after busier activities.

Stop at the Bognor Rock Shop

Let the kids pick their own stick of rock or a bag of fudge from this iconic seaside shop. It’s a sweet souvenir and a great talking point about the history of Bognor’s beachside traditions.

Explore the Bognor Regis Museum

Round off your visit with a trip to the Bognor Regis Museum. It’s run by volunteers, completely free to enter, and packed with interesting exhibits about the town’s history. Kids will enjoy the vintage toys, seaside displays and interactive elements. Free activity trails are sometimes available during the holidays.

Easter Funfair and Fireworks

Organised by Bognor Regis Seafront Lights for the Bank Holiday weekend, why not come along and enjoy all the fun at the funfair along the seafront? Delight in the dazzling display of fireworks from the Pier on Saturday at 9 pm.
