Easter school holiday 2026

East is the first "proper" school holiday of the year - we say proper because this is the first time we can get away in the UK, and expect some reasonable weather. Of course, you lucky people who can jet off to sunnier climes don't need to worry about that! Either way, if you're looking to get away for a few days during this nice long extended break, have a look at some of the holidays we've picked here. There's a good choice of lodges and park holiday in the UK; and we'll show you some holidays which may well suit your needs.

For 2026 there's villas available here too! If you're looking for an Easter break, have a quick look and see what's available.
