If you’re planning your Easter break to Devon, and one of the many caravan parks in the area, then you may be looking for some things to do during your holiday. As it’s Easter there are lots of events and interesting days out all over the county, that’s always the great thing about going away during a national holiday, and as Easter is the first major one of the spring, you may even get some sunshine too – although that is never guaranteed!
Devon isn’t the biggest county, although it is a popular holiday destination as staycationers flock to the coast this Easter. So we’ve compiled a list of days out in the area that may well be worth a visit during your stay.
Easter Holiday Hunt – Sidmouth
Easter wouldn’t be complete without an Easter Egg hunt and that’s exactly what’s on offer at the Donkey Sanctuary in Sidmouth. Running until Easter Day you can head along with the family, pay the £1 hunt fee and join the Easter Egg Hunt to find the 10 wooden eggs. Contact – The Donkey Sanctuary
St George’s Day Festival – Plymouth
It may be Easter too but Plymouth is holding it’s St George’s Day festival on Saturday 19th April, and not only is it promising to be fun, with music and entertainment all day, but it’s actually free too! Details – St George’s Day Parade
Photography competition – Dartmoor
If you head to the Miniature Pony Centre in Dartmouth during your stay, you’ll get a whole different kind of event right now.

Ploughman’s Lunch Cruise – Exmouth
