The daffodils are springing, the cherry blossom trees are blooming, and we’re dreaming of summer days! Easter half term in Birmingham is nearly here and the city is blooming with some fantastic events to celebrate season of renewal (and chocolate!). Discover everything from Easter Afternoon Teas, Easter egg hunts, museum trips and fun outdoor activities.
Free Cherry Blossom Tree Concert, Workshop & Picnic at Oozells Square, Birmingham
Cherry blossom season is soon the bloom again in Oozells Square. Also known as Sakura, cherry blossom trees compliment their surroundings with an eye-catching pop of pastel pink. The only downside is that the season is very short-lived! Oozells Square attracts visitors, photographers, and a free event every year, to honour the famous cherry blossom trees. Collaborating with Brindley Place and IKON Gallery, which is nestled within the cherry blossom trees in Oozells Square, Birmingham Contemporary Music Group (BCMG), brings an hour-long, free event for all ages to celebrate one of nature’s most captivating seasonal moments of the year. Book your ticket now for free to join this relaxing event on Sunday 22nd March 2026 from 3pm-4pm.

Tolkien Tour Trail
Are you a fan of Lord of the Rings? Did you know that J. R. R. Tolkien lived in Birmingham between the ages of 4-8 years old? Tolkien took inspiration from Birmingham’s natural surroundings and buildings to craft the fantasy world of Middle Earth. You can see Birmingham through the eyes of Tolkien himself by embarking on The Tolkien Trail! This is completely free to do with the family and the trail is 2 miles in length. You will journey you through the likes of Sarehole Mill, Moseley Bog and Joy’s Wood, The Shire Country Park and Cole Valley (this was named in honour of the author’s links with the local area), and more – including the school Tolkien attended as a child and his childhood home.
