From craft activities to live music and markets to nature trails, there is something for everyone at this time of year.
Top Things to Do in Wye Valley Easter Weekend
Easter Market at The Hope & Anchor – Between 12pm and 4pm on Saturday, take a wander around the Easter market at the Pavilion. You can check out stalls from local businesses and pick up some tasty treats, and there will be a number of kids’ activities for the little ones to get involved in. Colouring, Easter bonnet making and cookie decorating are all on the agenda; you’ll even have the chance to meet the Easter Bunny himself.
Tintern Local Produce Market – You won’t be short of local and seasonal food, drink and produce at Tintern Local Produce Market. Held on the second Saturday of each month, this market attracts independent growers and makers from across Wye Valley, and Easter weekend is no exception. There’s an abundance of winemakers, cheesemakers, local farmers, fruit and veg growers, and dairy producers. You’re bound to leave with many local delights.
Live Music at The Bandstand – Head to the bandstand from 8:30pm on Saturday and enjoy live music from the talented Breaking Ground.
