Cosy Book Festivals, Chic Chelsea Cafés and Idyllic Island Hikes—9 Things to Do in April

9 Things Not To Miss This April, From Island Hikes To Chic Cafe Openings.

Spring has officially sprung. The sun is intermittently popping through the clouds, the long weekend is stretching out before us and there's a buzz in the air now that we have extra hours of light. So, what's new when it comes to things to do in the UK this April?

This month, I've found one of the chicest café openings in London which is destined to be a new city hotspot thanks to its signature pastry, the Sloane Pain au Suisse (expect to see it all over TikTok soon). Elsewhere in the capital, you'll find a date-worthy Dim Sum masterclass overlooking the river, a free art exhibition exploring vulnerability and resilience, and a cute book festival at Alexandra Palace. Beyond the M25, there's Easter magic to be enjoyed with little ones at Leeds Castle, and an incredible opportunity to hike the gorgeous Isles of Scilly as part of the archipelago's annual walking festival.
