Your Easter weekend at Spitalfields: A bank holiday well spent

15/04/2025

The long Easter weekend is the perfect excuse to slow down, soak up the atmosphere, and treat yourself to a few extra indulgences. Whether you’re in the mood to brunch, browse, or just take it easy, Spitalfields is ready with everything you need to make this Bank Holiday feel like a mini break.

Here’s how to spend your Easter weekend in Spitalfields, at your own pace.

Start with brunch at Brother Marcus

Easter starts strong with brunch at Brother Marcus. Think Middle Eastern-inspired flavours, house-made sourdough, and vibrant plates like their signature Harissa Eggs. Settle in with a coffee or a cocktail and ease into the long weekend.

Coffee at Arabica or a Matcha Moment at Jenki

After brunch, wander over to Arabica on Market Street for a perfectly made coffee. Their chilled setup is ideal for catching up with a friend or enjoying a solo moment between stops.

Not a coffee person? Head to Jenki, just a few stores down, for a matcha moment worth savouring. Don’t miss their limited-edition Black Cherry Matcha – a bold, refreshing twist on a classic favourite. It’s the kind of treat that feels just right for a long weekend!

Bank holiday blow dry at Amazon Salon

Treat yourself to a bank holiday blow dry at the ultra-modern Amazon Salon. Whether you’ve got plans later or just want that just-stepped-out-of-the-salon feeling, it’s a refreshing way to mark the long weekend.

Mooch around the Spitalfields Traders Market

With your coffee in hand, take time to browse the Spitalfields Traders Market. From handmade jewellery and vintage finds to independent fashion and curated homeware, it’s a treasure trove worth lingering in.

Drinks, food & games at Players Social

As the afternoon rolls in, gather your friends and head to Players Social. With great food, cold drinks and casual games like shuffleboard and table tennis, it’s a relaxed space to hang out and keep the good vibes going.

Finish with a manicure at Townhouse

End your day with a bit of polish – literally. Townhouse is the go-to spot for a sleek manicure, whether you’re into soft neutrals or something a little more seasonal. It’s the perfect finishing touch before heading into the rest of the weekend.

Dinner at Alfi: Italian vibes & great wine

As the sun dips, make your way to Alfi, where laid-back Italian vibes meet seriously good food. From handmade pastas to fresh, seasonal plates perfect for sharing, it’s the kind of place that feels effortlessly celebratory.

Pair it all with a glass (or bottle) from their curated wine list and you’ve got the perfect close to your Bank Holiday. Good company, good wine, and a little taste of Italy right in the heart of Spitalfields.

Your Easter, your way

Whether you’re planning your stops or going with the flow, Spitalfields is open all weekend, ready with good food, fresh coffee, seasonal energy, and local favourites to explore.
