Easter falls very early this year, so remember your thermal undies when you set off to see what the Easter Bunny has brought you.

Churches around Thornbury will be celebrating the resurrection of Jesus, and there are details of these and other Easter-related events on the right hand side of this page, and on the Churches page.

You'll also find details of Thornbury restaurants that have created special Easter menus to tempt you for Sunday lunch, as well as staging Easter Egg hunts for the children.

Throughout March there's the chance to win Sunday lunch for two at The Swan at Tytherington or an Italian meal for two at La Bruschetta.

If you're sending gifts or cards to friends and relatives, you'll find plenty of inspiration in the card and gift shops in Thornbury, as well as on Oakleaze Road.

Easter weekend is also traditionally the start of the gardening and DIY season, so check out our Homes and Gardens section for suppliers - remember Tytherington Road Nursery is open for business on Easter Sunday, and ready to receive your hanging baskets to fill with summer colour.

And click here for ideas of places to take your family over the Easter Weekend. Many of our local attractions, such as Berkeley Castle, open their doors for the new season at Easter.
