Easter 2027 budget
Easter is early in 2027: Good Friday 26 March, Easter Sunday 28 March, Easter Monday 29 March (a bank holiday everywhere except Scotland). It lands just before the April bill rises, so it's worth planning.
Doing this more than once? The UK Meal Planner & Grocery Budget (£4) lets you plan meals and keep the food shop on budget every week. This calculator stays free.
Cheaper Easter ideas
- Buy eggs early or late, not in the last week. Multibuys appear in February and prices drop after Easter Sunday.
- Free days out: parks, beaches, free museums, and egg hunts run by local councils and National Trust-style places (some charge).
- Holiday childcare: if you use Tax-Free Childcare, the government adds £2 for every £8 you pay for approved holiday clubs. See the Tax-Free Childcare calculator.
- Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes offer free places to many children on benefits-related free school meals in England. Ask your council.
- School holiday dates vary by council. Check yours before booking anything.
