Easter Holidays in York

Hello!

The Easter Holidays are nearly here.... 🐇🌼 You may be wondering what on earth you're going to do - don't worry, we've got you!

I don't know about you but this Easter feels significant for me, another Easter at home.... last Easter was lockdown but still lots of fun and the weather was great - Staying at home was a novelty - I still had the energy to make some effort and do our own Easter Activities, games & egg hunts in the garden and around the house. My youngest has been talking about it non stop since and Easter is her new favourite celebration so I'm planning on doing a few things to make it fun!

Thankfully, with some help from team mumbler, we have loads of ideas on the website and in this newsletter to make sure that Easter is lots of fun for you - whether you are staying at home for the whole time or heading out to get some air, exercise and a change of scene. There are a few places open - you need to pre-book as you can imagine.

You can see a full list of ideas, inspiration for things to do at home and a few nice days out HERE and there are some highlights below too.
