Planning impact

Easter is the central movable date for several holidays and planning periods in spring.

Easter should always be checked together with Good Friday, Easter Monday, Easter break and the following movable holidays.

School

Check Easter break

Easter break is often more important for families than the single holiday.

Work

Monday matters

Easter Monday is a day off; Good Friday has had a special personal-holiday role since 2019.

Shops

Consider the weekend

Opening hours around Good Friday, Saturday and Easter Monday should be checked together.

Travel

Long weekend possible

Easter break, the public holiday and spring travel often create stronger demand.
