London schools seem to be done by 19 April which fills me with hope for a cheaper hol as Irish schools seem to be off a week later.

They vary by local authority and it depends if easter is earlier or later than average.

Some schools do the weeks before and after easter, some will do the 2 weeks from good Friday and if easter is very late there would always be the chance that some schools would do the 2 weeks running up to easter Monday.

In the UK we have inset days too which can fill small gaps in holidays to skew by a small amount.

So you might find that the expensive time is more than two weeks around easter but you might also find that the edges of easter weeks if you know what I mean are slightly less stupidly expensive.

We are a childfree couple and we've holidayed in the canaries at least once near easter and it wouldn't have been expensive as we do not pay school holiday prices.

Easter is very late in 2019. Ours start on Monday 15th April for 2 weeks, but like PP has said they will all be different. However, being so different is usually good for catching bargains.

Sounds like Easter school holidays are going to be different for us all - Kent schools are off from the 5th of April to the 21st. Google the local county education body - they usually have generic term dates on there for the year ahead (though schools can individually work around these with inset dates so just a guideline really)

Some schools in Newcastle have only got one week for easter and are having the second week tagged onto the summer holiday.

Irish schools are off from 15th for two weeks.

In South Wales we are off from the 15th-29th. I believe our October half term is also a week later than England’s?

We have the same Easter hols in Coventry too - go back on 29th.

Cheshire - 30th march-15th April then off for the easter weekend. Could be cheap hols for us then!
