Victorian elegance: The Victorian era was a defining period for the Easter bonnet. Women of society would adorn elaborate bonnets as a symbol of status and fashion.

The National Museum has impressionist art and dinosaur skeletons, while St Fagans has more than 40 re-erected historical buildings in the grounds. Easter isn’t just about chocolate and cake. It can also be a time for dazzling blasts of sunshine, beautiful birdsong and all the fresh, dewy colour that reminds us after winter’s gloom that being outdoors can be just wonderful.
