Easter party ideas
Easter is a lovely excuse for a spring gathering with family and friends. The classic is an egg hunt in the garden, but you can add egg decorating, an Easter bonnet parade or a petting farm visit to make a full party of it.
For the grown-ups, an Easter brunch with pastel flowers, eggs benedict and a hot cross bun bake is easy to host and suits every age. Each plan below includes timings, food and a shopping list.
