As Easter approaches, there’s a growing sense of anticipation across the North West. Falling on Sunday 5th April 2026, the season brings with it lighter days, family traditions and a calendar filled with events designed to be enjoyed together.

For those looking to embrace the outdoors, Speke Hall hosts a charming Easter trail from Saturday 28th March to Sunday 12th April. Set within beautiful grounds, the experience invites families to follow a carefully designed route, complete seasonal activities and enjoy a well-earned chocolate treat at the end. It’s a gentle, engaging way to spend a spring afternoon.

For something more energetic, the Liverpool Indoor Funfair returns to the Exhibition Centre over the Easter break. Running across the same dates, it offers a lively mix of rides, attractions and games, creating a high-energy environment ideal for younger visitors looking for excitement during the holidays.

Meanwhile, over in Manchester, the Gandey’s K-Pop Dragon Circus brings a colourful and contemporary twist to a classic day out. Taking place at the Trafford Centre from Thursday 2nd April to Sunday 19th April, the show combines traditional circus performance with modern music and vibrant staging — an experience designed to entertain all ages.

Easter is a time best spent unhurried, whether that means exploring local events or simply enjoying time together. For those visiting the region, Hillbark Hotel & Spa offers a peaceful base within the grounds of Royden Park, ideally positioned for exploring both Liverpool and Manchester. After a day of activity, returning to calm surroundings, considered dining and comfortable accommodation provides the perfect balance.
