Looking for unforgettable family days out in London this Easter? The "Catch the Silk Thief" walking tour tops our list of things to do with kids in London Easter 2025. This interactive adventure explores historic Southwark through the eyes of Jane, daughter of Black Tudor silk weaver Reasonable Blackman – offering one of the most engaging and educational Easter holiday activities for families this year.
A Tudor Family Day Out: Interactive Black History Experience for Children
Most of us learnt about Henry VIII and his six wives in school, but Tudor England was far more diverse than traditional history lessons portray. This interactive family walking tour brings to life the fascinating story of Reasonable Blackman, a skilled silk weaver in 16th century London.
Based on Claire Linney's book "Time Tub Travellers and the Silk Thief", children ages 7-11 become active participants in a historical adventure. As they follow Jane through Southwark's ancient streets, they'll solve riddles and gather clues to catch a thief who stole her father's precious silks – making this one of the most engaging things to do with kids in London this Easter.
What makes this family day out truly special is that it's been curated with help from Claire Linney herself, ensuring an authentic experience that perfectly balances education with entertainment.
