Best Ways to Spend Easter in Britain
Easter is one of the most notable dates on the Christian calendar, and so like other Christian countries Britain has a public holiday over the Easter period. This holiday can become a four day weekend when combined with Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. As such, it’s great period for a weekend break in Britain.
For Christians there are a variety of services held at local churches. However, why not consider visiting some of Britain’s most famous churches and cathedrals over the Easter season? In this respect, the majestic St Paul’s cathedral in London is certainly one of the most recommended destinations in Britain. St Pauls is the largest cathedral in the United Kingdom, and one of London’s tallest buildings as the dome of St Pauls rises some 365 ft. As such, St Pauls is always great to visit, and during the Easter has its own variety of Easter services. For further details visit theSt Paul’s website.
Easter egg hunts are also held at various venues in London over the Easter weekend. For example, consider visiting the Red House, Fenton House, Ham House, and Battersea Park which all host their own Easter egg hunts over the Easter weekend.
Elsewhere, Canterbury cathedral in Kent is also one of Britain’s most famous cathedrals. This is the cathedral of the Archbishop of Canterbury who heads the Church of England. Like St Pauls it is an impressive cathedral which rises up to 265 ft, and is a UNESCO heritage site. As such, many visit this cathedral, especially over the Easter season when a variety of lectures are provided by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
