There’s something special about the Easter holidays. Lighter evenings, spring sunshine, chocolate eggs and time spent together all make it one of the most enjoyable breaks of the year. If you’re planning ahead, spending the Easter holidays in Northumberland offers the perfect mix of fresh air, family fun and well-earned relaxation. Here at Hemera Holidays, we can provide the ideal place to stay.
Whether you’re organising a family getaway packed with Easter activities or a peaceful spring break with plenty of chocolate and countryside walks, Northumberland has everything you need to make the holiday memorable.
Why Easter is the perfect time for a lodge break
Easter sits right at the start of spring, when the countryside begins to bloom and the days feel longer and brighter. After the colder winter months (and we all know how long the sun stayed away in the UK this winter) it’s the ideal opportunity to get outside, explore and enjoy time together.
Booking your Easter holidays in Northumberland early means securing your preferred lodge and dates, especially during school breaks when demand increases. With spacious accommodation, private hot tubs and pet-friendly options, Hemera Holidays offers flexibility that suits families, couples and groups alike.
Chocolate, egg hunts and family traditions
Easter wouldn’t be complete without chocolate. From sharing Easter eggs in the morning to enjoying sweet treats after a day out, it’s a time for simple pleasures and family traditions.
Northumberland often hosts a variety of Easter egg trails and themed events, especially at popular attractions. These activities typically involve clue sheets, outdoor exploration and, of course, a chocolate reward at the end, making them a highlight for children.
Places that frequently host Easter activities include:
- The Alnwick Garden, which often runs family-friendly Easter trails and seasonal events.
- English Heritage sites such as Warkworth Castle, which typically organise Easter adventure quests.
- National Trust properties in Northumberland, many of which host organised egg hunts during the school holidays.
These events provide a brilliant way for children to burn off energy, enjoy the outdoors and take part in something festive and interactive.
Afterwards, returning to your lodge means you can relax, put the kettle on and perhaps enjoy one more chocolate egg, or a relax in your own private hot tub before bedtime.
A spring base close to top attractions
One of the biggest advantages of staying with Hemera Holidays during Easter is the excellent location. Whether you choose Felmoor Park or Percy Wood Country Park, you’re well placed for exploring Northumberland’s best-loved attractions.
Families can enjoy:
- Alnwick Castle, where history feels like an adventure.
- Lilidorei at The Alnwick Garden, an imaginative play village perfect for younger visitors.
- Northumberland Zoo, offering an engaging and educational day out.
- Druridge Bay, ideal for spring beach walks and picnics.
Spring weather makes these outings especially enjoyable. It’s cool enough for comfortable exploring but warm enough to spend hours outdoors.
Relaxation for adults too
While Easter is often centred around children, it’s also an opportunity for adults to unwind. After busy work schedules and school routines, a lodge break offers space to reset.
Private hot tubs are a particular highlight during Easter. Evenings may still carry a hint of spring chill, which makes stepping into warm, bubbling water feel even more indulgent. Whether you’re relaxing after a long walk or enjoying a quiet moment under the stars, it’s a simple luxury that enhances the entire break.
With fully equipped kitchens, you can also enjoy Easter meals at your own pace; whether that’s a traditional Sunday roast, a relaxed brunch or simply enjoying your own chocolate without interruption.
Pet-friendly Easter adventures
For many families, Easter holidays include every member of the household, including pets. Many Hemera Holidays lodges are pet friendly, allowing dogs to join in the adventure.
Northumberland’s open countryside, woodland trails and dog-friendly beaches make it an excellent destination for springtime walks. Easter provides the perfect excuse to explore somewhere new together, with plenty of space for energetic dogs to roam.
After a day outdoors, your dog can rest comfortably in the lodge while you enjoy the evening.
Make Easter meaningful
Beyond the chocolate and egg hunts, Easter is about spending quality time together. It’s about shared experiences, fresh air, laughter and moments away from screens and busy schedules.
A lodge break encourages those connections naturally. Mornings can start slowly, with breakfast around the table. Afternoons can be spent exploring castles or following Easter trails. Evenings bring board games, films and warm soaks in the hot tub.
The flexibility of self-catered accommodation means you set the pace. There’s no need to rush, no strict timetables and no crowded hotel spaces, just your own comfortable retreat in the Northumberland countryside.
