Have a delightful time with your family this Easter holiday by joining the exciting Easter Hats Trail in St Albans City Centre.
Running from 28 March until 12 April 2026, the Easter Hat Trail invites you to find ten famous hats and match them to the ten questions on the Trail Map. Write all ten of your answers on the map for a chance to win three St Albans Gift Cards.
To start the Trail, collect an entry form from St Albans Museum + Gallery information desk (open daily 10 am – 4 pm), then head to the locations listed on the map. Once you’ve found all the Hats and answered all the questions, fill in the entry form on your map and post it in the Post Box located in St Albans Museum + Gallery.
Capture your Easter picture in one of our Easter Bunny cutout photo props and share it with us: @enjoystalbans. These will be outside Empire Records and Chaos City Comics at Heritage Close shopping precinct off the high street.
Complete the trail in one go, or come back another day, it’s a completely free activity for families and groups to take part in. The winner will receive a £50 St Albans Gift Card and two runners up will each receive £25.
Thank you to those businesses that are supporting the trail: Fat Face, Robert Goddards, Barbone, Waterers Tailors & Menswear, Up We Pop, Connells, Jigsaw, Beelex Electrical, Glaze Bakery and The Radiator Centre.
Vivien Cannon, BID Manager, St Albans City Centre BID says: “Put on your thinking ‘hats’! We love delivering Trails throughout the year for people of all ages to have fun. See where the Trail takes you and maybe, discover new shops and venues not yet visited. Whilst completing the hunt, there is an array of wonderful eateries and shops to visit, so make St Albans your destination this Easter.”
