Easter at London Museum Docklands

This Easter, London Museum Docklands is plating up a feast of food-inspired fun.

Little explorers can paint with food, get crafty with paper food creations, and tuck into storytelling sessions packed with flavour. From ingredients that crossed oceans to recipes passed through generations, uncover the stories, journeys and memories behind what’s on our plates.

Each session is fun and free! There’s a mix of bookable and drop-in events across the week – please check individual session listings for more detail on dates, timings and booking methods before you visit.
