It’s not often we get four days off in a row to spend with friends and family without some strategic holiday-booking and calendar-checking! That’s why we know you’ll want to get the most out of the upcoming bank holiday weekend. Easter is just around the corner so don’t leave your plans to the last minute. Follow our top tips for making the best use of the long weekend.
Book a Mini Break
Four days is the perfect length of time for a mini break abroad. Just a short hop over to Europe can guarantee beautiful sunshine. If you like to immerse yourself in culture and city life, Paris or Barcelona will hit the spot. More of a sun, sea and sand kind of traveller? Tenerife is the place to go. Not only does it have warm weather and sandy beaches, but the locals love to celebrate Easter with parades and decorations galore.
Spring Clean
Embrace the start of the new season and give your home a refresh. A spring clean doesn’t have to mean scrubbing the sideboards or banishing cobwebs; instead give your living space room to breathe by decluttering. Donate books that have been read, downsize your ornament collection, clear out that infamous kitchen drawer and purge those unworn clothes. By only hanging onto the things you truly love or use regularly, your home will feel much calmer and more spacious than ever.
Host a Garden Party
The clocks have gone forward and the weather is getting warmer by the day. What better time to host the first garden party of the year? Gather your friends and family for a spot of al fresco dining and make the most of the fresh, spring weather. If you need a little recipe inspiration, take a look at our tasty suggestions. It can also double as an egg hunt for any little ones in the family.
A Spot of Lunch
Of course, great weather and British bank holidays don’t always coincide, so you might want to let someone else take care of the catering and book a table for that all-important Easter Sunday roast. Sit back with friends and family and allow the professionals to do all the hard work. After all, bank holidays are made for relaxing.
