About Easter

Easter is the main Christian festival, marking the resurrection of Jesus, and its date moves each year with the church calendar. In the UK, Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays, making the long weekend a busy time for families, travel, food and retail. For brands and charities with something useful to say, it gives radio and TV producers a timely reason to book an interview.
