Easter In Wales

A visit to Wales provides a captivating blend of fun, adventure and history at any time of the year and spending Easter in Wales promises to be extra special with a fabulous program of holiday events for all the family. Cardiff has the lion's share of excitement with dozens of attractions to delight all ages. Stylish Cardiff Bay is the focus for most of the fun with an Easter trail and egg hunt for younger kids, music concerts, street theatre and much more. Elsewhere St David’s Hall hosts a series of lunchtime concerts and Cardiff Castle brings medieval history to life each Easter with mock battles, archery and falconry displays and traditional crafts. It all adds up to a full weekend filled with fun and spectacle to excite young and old.

 

A Cardiff city break at Easter can also indulge in a vibrant festive party atmosphere to rival anywhere in the UK. The extra long Easter weekend ensures a busy club and pub scene, plenty of live music and a lively cafe culture. For something a little more refined during Easter in Wales savour first class opera and classical music at the Millennium Centre and a host of museums and galleries which remain open for most of the holiday period. The National Museum and Gallery is bound to be a highlight for any art lover and is most definitely worth a few hours visit.

Easter breaks in Wales have much more to offer than merely a short break stay in Cardiff. It is the most diverse region in the UK with a stunning landscape encompassing everything from idyllic sandy beaches, lush valleys and rugged mountains. An adventurous Easter in Wales can enjoy challenging horse riding trails along the windswept Gower coastline or in the dense forests of Mid Wales. Visitors can try rock climbing in Snowdonia or enjoy sailing in chic Abersoch and Barmouth. Tour the charming mining communities of the South Wales valleys or spend an indulgent day on a vintage steam train through the beautiful hills of the Brecons. There are special Easter services which feature games and activities for kids and provide a great family day out.
