In the countryside, quaint villages across the Cotswolds host locals and visitors in a celebration of Easter. Be it egg rolling contests on local hills or festive Easter bonnet parades, the Cotswolds is a heartwarming place to experience springtime in England and the perfect destination for a 3 day break.
Why not opt for a longer 5-day short break and head north to the historic city of York, a destination steeped in tradition. Visit the York Chocolate Story, which offers chocolate making workshops to let you craft your own sweet treats. Or visit Norfolk on England’s eastern coast. To top off your Easter journey, trip along to the charming seaside town of Great Yarmouth where a grand Easter fair is held with plenty of rides, games, and traditional hot cross buns to enjoy.
