April Editor's Picks

CADBURY'S EASTER TRAIL AT TREASURER'S HOUSE

1st and 2nd April 2018

Easter falls early this year, giving us the perfect excuse to gather our little ones and hunt down some tasty treats in the historic Treasurer’s House in York. In fact, three year champion of Yorkshire in Bloom, the garden is a treat in itself. It might not be quite as tranquil as normal on this particular day, but we’re sure the trail of chocolatey goodness will make up for it.

LONDON MARATHON

15th March - 22nd April 2018

One worth visiting London for. Whether you’re supporting a runner or simply going along for the ride, there’s no better way to start your Sunday than to the sound of thousands of pairs of trainers pounding the capital’s streets. Outfits range from simple lycra getups to the outright outlandish, with the Mona Lisa, a life-size fridge and a large tree all crossing the finish line last year. We can only dream of what this year will produce.

EAST ANGLIAN GAME AND COUNTRY FAIR

28th and 29th April 2018

Set against the backdrop of the magnificent Euston Estate, enjoy a whole host of events from equestrian, canine and falconry to cookery workshops and live music. A firm favourite on the country fair calendar, visitors can try their hand at archery, fly fishing and off road driving to name a few. Promising to be a memorable weekend for all the family, you can even bring along your own four legged friend. What’s not to love?
