Easter to many people means the chance to get together with friends and family, eating lots of chocolate and perhaps enjoying the scenery as spring begins to sprout. If you're looking for a change to the usual routine, why not make this Easter extra special and book a break away where you can enjoy this special time of year somewhere new and exciting.
Easter is the first bank holiday after New Year and a great time to get away with the longer evenings, the days getting warmer (fingers crossed!) and trees coming alive with beautiful blosom.
With the dates for the bank holidays changing each year, here are the latest ones to put in your diary:
Good Friday - 18th April 2025
Easter Sunday - 20th April 2025
For many Easter can be the first trip of the year to the seaside. Head to popular resorts of Blackpool and Scarborough for some fun or soak up the fresh sea air on the South Coast in Newquay, Bournemouth or the Isle of Wight.
Alternatively you can enjoy the great outdoors in the Lake District or the unspoilt beauty in the Yorkshire Dales. Wales is stunning this time of year with the baby lambs and daffodils in full bloom and we must not forget about Bonnie Scotland with the wonderful lochs and glens. Perhaps grab your walking shoes so you burn those extra calories from all those Easter Eggs!
If you fancy heading to Europe this Easter time, we offer tours to the Rhine in Germany and France with it's chateaux and gardens and finally the Dutch Bulbfields where you see the real beauty of Spring.
Coach holidays for Easter tend to start from around £199 per person and will usually include: return coach travel, comfortable hotel accommodation, meals and excursions.
Make a change to your usual routine for Easter and this year, get your loved ones together for a short break away and eat your chocolate eggs somewhere new? Deciding on where to go can for some be a little daunting so here are just a few of the places you can visit during this time:
The Cotswolds
For an air of peace and tranquillity this Easter time, take a mini break to The Cotswolds where you can enjoy a delicious Afternoon Tea in quaint English villages such as Bourton-on-the-Water or Stow-on-the-Wold. Absorb the timeless charm of this beautiful region of the UK where stunning landscapes, rolling hills and church spires cry out to be explored this Easter.
The Lake District
Another beautiful region of the UK that's perfect for your Easter break with stunning scenery for all to enjoy. Pack your walking boots and go rambling across the many Fells that the Lake District has to offer but take care as the weather can change in an instant. For those not wishing for an active break, you can walk aimlessly around Windermere, take a cruise across the lake or broaden your knowledge of Beatrix Potter.
Amsterdam
The Easter Bank Holiday provides the perfect excuse to spend a long weekend in the vibrant city of Amsterdam. There so much to entertain the whole family from enjoying a relaxing cruise along the famous canals, sample local delicacies, admire the windmills, try on some clogs or combine your trip with a visit to the colourful Dutch Bulbfields at Keukenhof.
