What's on this Easter weekend
As we move into the tail end of March, the weather should begin to brighten up, and our days will definitely get longer (we're praying for one of those March heat waves to hit). If our prayers are answered and we're treated to a glimpse of blue sky this Easter weekend, then you'll likely be itching to get out the house and enjoy a pint in the sun. While almost all of our pubs have marvellous beer gardens for you to kick your feet up in, some of our pubs have made extra efforts to make your Easter weekend memorable. From Easter egg hunts to live music here's what's going on in our pubs.
Please note if the weather perks up, your favourite pub may put on a last minute event- so make sure to keep an eye on their social media if they didn't make this list!
