At Seaside Cottages we love Easter because we welcome families and friends to our warm homes away from home.

What’s Easter All About?

Easter is a Christian holiday that marks the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Traditionally, churches are adorned with Easter lilies, and families gather to share meals and celebrate. But Easter isn’t just about church services—modern traditions include Easter parades, egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and much festive feasting. Easter is a ‘moveable feast’ as it does not fall on a fixed date and is worked out according to a lunisolar calendar (solar year plus Moon phase) similar to the Hebrew calendar. This year, Easter is 18-21 April! Start planning your Easter break at Seaside Cottages today!
