5 Things to Do This Easter Outside Ealing
There's so much to do within Ealing this Easter (see our suggestions here) but if you're keen on going further afield, here are a few suggestions to do with or without the kids this holiday.
MJ the Musical
If you're a fan of Michael Jackson, this is a must-see show! My sister and I recently watched Jamaal Fields-Green, who has just taken over the role of MJ, and he was absolutely incredible. Nostalgic and high-energy, this musical is a journey through some of Jackson’s greatest hits, including "Billie Jean," "Beat It," "Man in the Mirror," "Thriller," and "Smooth Criminal." The show is currently running at the Prince Edward Theatre, with bookings now open until September 2025. Don’t miss this electrifying tribute to one of the greatest performers of all time. Tickets and more info here.
Family Easter Event at St. Pancras International
For a fun, free Easter event, head to St. Pancras International, where the Sharky & George team will be hosting Easter-themed games, face painting, and chocolatey crafts. Kids can also meet the Easter Bunny and take part in all sorts of mischief and mayhem. This event takes place on Friday, 11th April, with 30-minute slots available from 10 am to 5 pm. Entry is free, but donations to the Evelina Children’s Charity are encouraged. Book your slot here.
Thanks for Having Me at Riverside Studios
If you're in the mood for a comedy about modern dating, Thanks for Having Me at Riverside Studios is a great choice. Starring Kedar Williams-Stirling (Sex Education) and Nell Tiger Free (Game of Thrones, The First Omen), this play follows two mismatched housemates navigating love, breakups, and the chaos of twenty-something relationships. Running from 7th-26th April, this lighthearted show is packed with awkward and hilarious moments that anyone who has ever dated can relate to. More details and tickets here.
