Ready to spring forward?
 
This Sunday is not just Easter Sunday, but it’s also the time our clocks will change, and we will be setting our clocks to one hour ahead. This means longer days with lighter evenings and (hopefully) warmer weather…
 
At Royal Museums Greenwich there are plenty of ways to celebrate throughout the Easter holidays. Join in with a wide range of activities across all our sites, take a stroll through Greenwich Park as it springs into life or discover our latest exhibition. Come and explore Greenwich this April!
 
Why do the clocks change?
