Pets at Home launched a free animal workshop initiative to appeal to families and parents on the hunt for budget-friendly activities over the Easter holidays. The workshops were held at a selection of local stores across the UK, lasted around 45 minutes and enabled children to get hands on with some of their favourite cuddly companions whilst learning some fun facts and the importance of being a pet owner.

In a new study, Airbnb revealed a new UK holiday trend ahead of Easter – the pub-cation. The study included a survey and made use of Airbnb’s booking data too, helping the travel experts to identify this growing love for countryside getaways in Britain.

Jumping on the growing trend for surprise boxes and mystery gifts in the beauty industry, British fashion giant Next launched it’s first Luxury Beauty Easter Egg, designed in collaboration with Cath Kidston.
