Why do we have Bank Holidays?
Sir John Lubbock, first Baron of Avebury, studied ants and tried to teach his poodles how to read. He was also a scientific writer, banker and politician. In 1871 he drafted the Bank Holiday Bill, which created our first Bank Holidays, when it became law.
So, we’re in the Easter school holidays and those huge displays of eggs in the shops are fast running out! There used to be a pile of chocolate eggs on sale, just after the double bank holiday, however Supermarkets have become wise to this. Stock levels have been reduced to stop waste.
From Easter egg hunts to biting the ears off chocolate bunnies, the end of Lent to the resurrection of Christ, our Spring festival celebrates depictions of new life and change. For those that are not so religious, it marks a fun-filled long weekend.
Whether it’s about chocolate or church for you, our Devon Holiday Parks and the rest of the country are getting ready for Easter. We have some quite interesting and, somewhat, amusing trivia that may shine a light on why chocolate, bunnies and religion share the same event. You almost certainly won’t know every fact…
The Easter holidays are here, the skies are already blue in North Devon and, despite the frosty mornings, the first hints of a long and warm Summer are in the air. Our Holiday Parks are now all open and we’re enjoying the Spring season.
When is Easter? Easter Sunday is late in 2019, falling on 21st April.
Mother’s Day or Mothering Sunday is a day for families, where we show the special women in our lives just how much they mean to us – mums, grandmothers, nannies, stepmothers and, of course, mothers-in-law. The fourth Sunday of Lent is Mother’s Day, March 31st in 2019, always three weeks before Easter Sunday.
It can sometimes be difficult to keep little people engaged when on holiday. After all, us parents are an embarrassing bunch who would rather just sit around on the beach snacking and chatting. Where’s the fun in that?
To keep those little faces smiling, here are four of Devon’s best children’s events activities this Summer.
