Frequently Asked Questions
Easter school holidays in England and Wales in 2026 run from approximately Friday 27th March to Monday 13th April, encompassing Good Friday on 3rd April and Easter Monday on 6th April. Dates vary slightly between local authorities and across Scotland and Northern Ireland, so it is always worth confirming exact holiday dates with your child's school before booking. Johnson Holidays offers Easter packages across the full holiday window, with departures available from Good Friday through to the final week of the school break to suit all family schedules.
Easter is one of the most versatile holiday windows of the year, and popular destination choices from the UK span a wide range of travel styles. For guaranteed spring sunshine and beach holidays, the Canary Islands — particularly Tenerife, Lanzarote, and Gran Canaria — along with the Algarve and Cyprus are perennial family favourites. City break lovers favour Rome, Seville, Lisbon, Prague, Budapest, and Barcelona, all of which are particularly beautiful during the Easter period. For something more exotic, Egypt, Morocco, Dubai, and the Maldives all deliver outstanding conditions during Easter and are increasingly popular choices for UK families and couples seeking a more ambitious Easter escape.
Easter holidays are among the most in-demand booking periods in the UK travel calendar, and the most popular destinations, hotels, and flight times fill very quickly — often months in advance. Johnson Holidays strongly recommends booking your Easter 2026 holiday as early as possible to secure your preferred destination, accommodation, and departure airport. Families in particular should prioritise early booking, as family rooms and child-friendly hotels at sought-after destinations are among the first to sell out during the Easter window. Last-minute Easter availability does occasionally arise, but choice and pricing are significantly more favourable for those who plan and book well ahead.
Easter is one of the finest times of year to visit European city break destinations, and many experienced travellers regard it as superior to the summer months for city exploration. Spring temperatures across Rome, Lisbon, Seville, Prague, Budapest, and Barcelona are mild, pleasant, and ideal for extended walking and outdoor sightseeing without the intense heat of midsummer. Many European cities also have their own distinctive Easter traditions, processions, and cultural events that add a fascinating local dimension to the city break experience during this period. Crowd levels, whilst increasing around the Easter weekend itself, are generally more manageable than the peak summer months.
Easter is an excellent time for a long-haul holiday, with several outstanding destinations at or near their seasonal best during the spring break window. The Maldives offers perfect weather and exceptional resort quality during Easter, with the dry season delivering brilliant sunshine and calm seas across the atolls. Thailand is warm and largely dry during April, making it an ideal time to explore both the beach resorts of Phuket and Koh Samui and the cultural riches of Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Barbados and the wider Caribbean enjoy their finest weather of the year during Easter, with low humidity, warm sunshine, and turquoise seas at their most inviting. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer outstanding value and excellent conditions before the intense summer heat arrives.
Yes, all inclusive is one of the most popular board bases for Easter holidays, particularly for families seeking a predictable and straightforward holiday budget during what is typically one of the year's more premium-priced travel windows. Johnson Holidays offers all inclusive Easter packages across a wide range of destinations including the Canary Islands, Turkey, Egypt, Spain, Cyprus, and beyond. All inclusive is particularly well suited to Easter family holidays, covering meals, drinks, and resort facilities within a single package price and removing the uncertainty and additional cost of daily dining and leisure expenses during the holiday.
