Easter in North Devon
It's the season for delicious treats and family fun! Head to North Devon and you’ll find plenty of things to do, with everything from the region’s top attractions hosting special events and activities during the holidays, as well as additional openings so you can make the most of your holidays.
What's on this Easter in North Devon
In North Devon, Easter isn’t just about who can eat the most chocolate eggs, it's all about having fun with the family. You’ll be spoilt for choice with the plethora of events and activities with everything on offer. Some of the events you can expect include Easter-themed afternoon tea experiences at top hotels, searching for Easter chicks and egg hunts, as well as craft workshops with arts and crafts all geared towards the holidays.
If you’re only really interested in the food available at Easter, then North Devon is the place to be! Restaurants and other eateries will be proudly showing off the wide range of local produce in their menus throughout the Easter holidays, so if you fancy some locally reared lamb, fresh veg, a hearty hot cross bun or even locally made chocolate eggs, you won’t be disappointed!
Family friendly Easter events
Let the children spring into action and delight in finding treasures in a traditional egg hunt or themed bunny hunt – it’s just lovely to see their smiling faces as they fill their baskets with Easter goodies.
From Lambing Live to Easter chick hunts to dinosaur hunts, there’ll be something for every member of the family to enjoy (and ok, there’ll probably be plenty of chocolate alongside too).
Places to stay this Easter
Devon’s hotels, holiday homes, holiday parks and guesthouses really go the extra mile to welcome families over Easter – and prices are a little lower than during the main summer holidays. But don’t hang around too long to book, as over Easter accommodation gets snapped up pretty quickly.
