What's on in North Wales over Easter?
Easter is a great time to get out and about with your loved ones. The weather is better, the days slightly longer, and shop shelves brim with brightly-coloured chocolate eggs – what’s not to love? In North Wales, where Easter is known as Pasg, it’s common to enjoy the great outdoors after a long winter, admiring the vibrant yellow daffodils and returning home to enjoy hot Welsh cakes slathered in butter. During half-term, many destinations throughout Gogledd Cymru host a range of easter-related activities for little ones to enjoy. We’ve rounded up some top Easter events in North Wales for 2026.
When is Easter 2026?
The Easter Holidays are from Monday, 30th March to Friday, 10th April 2026. Monday, the 3rd April, and Friday 6th, are both bank holidays – which means less annual leave used and more time on the beach!
