Springtime celebration
Easter is always an egg-citing time of the year in Northumberland.
After the long winter months, spring is on the way and everything is starting to feel a little bit brighter. The weather is getting better, the days are longer, and flowers are bursting into bloom.
Visit The Alnwick Garden and see the spectacular floral displays, head to Howick Hall Garden & Arboretum where you’ll see cheerful daffodils carpeting the grounds from March ‘til well into May, and marvel at the beautiful rhododendrons at Belsay Hall, Castle & Gardens.
If you’re holidaying here during this spiritual time, Northumberland is scattered with an abundance of beautiful churches. From St Michael & All Angels at Ford & Etal to the infamous St Oswald’s at Heavenfield, you’ll be sure to find a church nearby to celebrate Lent and Easter.
Even if you don’t follow the Christian traditions, Easter is all about birth, new beginnings, a fresh start – making it a lovely time to get outside for a bit of nature-spotting! Chase away the last of the winter chills with countryside walks, seaside frolics, and family-friendly fun at one of Northumberland’s many great attractions.
From Easter Markets and Easter Egg Hunts to outdoor activities and half-term celebrations, you’re guaranteed to spend the Easter bank holiday well in Northumberland.
