So, you’ve booked your Easter break and you (and the kids) are super excited.  Now all you need to do is plan how to spend your well earned week or two, but fear not, help is at hand!

With any luck, the weather will be starting to heat up and Corwall will come alive to the splash of waves and excited throng of chocolate fuelled monsters.  There is the obvious draw of the Cornish coastline for walks over craggy clifftops and surfing those clean, crisp curlers.  But at Easter time,  Cornwall offers even more.

When we travel, there is nothing worse than missing out on the must-see local events and activities, so we’ve scowered the web to bring you the best ways to fill your time with us. There couldn’t be a better time to start planning your holiday so, dive in and enjoy the Cornish spring time.
