Easter 2025: What’s Happening in Swansea for Students

19 April 2025

As Easter 2025 approaches, Swansea offers a range of events and activities for students to enjoy during the holiday break. Whether you're planning to relax, explore, or take part in local celebrations, here’s everything you need to know about Easter in Swansea. Swansea is known for its vibrant community events and Easter 2025 will be no exception. The Swansea Market will host seasonal specials, including Easter-themed treats, such as hot cross buns, chocolates, and other local Welsh delicacies. You can also expect themed activities like Easter egg hunts, which are popular in places like Clyne Gardens and Singleton Park. These events attract families, students, and residents creating a festive atmosphere around the city. Easter Sunday services in Swansea For those who observe Easter as a religious holiday, Swansea offers various churches hosting Easter Sunday services. Churches such as St. Mary's Church, Gowerton Methodist Church, and The Cathedral Church of Saint Joseph hold special Easter services, providing a place for reflection and celebration. Services often include hymns, readings, and communion, with some churches organizing community activities or family services. Public holidays and opening times in Swansea As Easter is a public holiday, you may notice changes in opening hours for shops, restaurants, and public services. In Swansea, most businesses, including supermarkets and restaurants, will be closed on Easter Sunday. However, you can expect local pubs and cafes to remain open, particularly in the city centre. Make sure to check with individual businesses ahead of time if you’re planning on dining out or doing any shopping. Transport during Easter in Swansea Public transport in Swansea will also be affected by the Easter holiday. Bus and train services may run on limited schedules, especially on Good Friday and Easter Sunday. If you’re planning to travel, it’s important to check timetables and plan your journey in advance. Swansea’s central location makes it easy to access other parts of Wales and beyond, but expect some changes in local transport services. Local attractions and opening hours During Easter 2025, many of Swansea's top attractions will be open, offering students the chance to explore the city's cultural and historical sites. Popular places such as the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea Museum, and Swansea Marina typically remain open throughout the Easter weekend. However, it’s a good idea to check their individual websites for specific opening hours, as some may operate with reduced hours over the holiday. The Gower Peninsula, a stunning natural area just outside Swansea, is also a great destination for those who want to explore the outdoors. The beaches and hiking trails are accessible year-round, including during Easter. However, some businesses in the area, such as cafes or small shops may operate on altered hours during the holiday. Volunteering opportunities over Easter Easter is a time for giving back, and Swansea offers several volunteering opportunities for those interested in supporting the community. Charities such as Swansea City Mission and The Salvation Army are active in organising food drives, community meals, and other events over the Easter weekend. Students looking to get involved can contact local charities directly or visit their websites for details on how to participate. Easter weekend for students at Digs Swansea For students staying at Digs Swansea, Easter 2025 offers a chance to relax and take a break from the stresses of university life. It’s a time when many students take the opportunity to go home, while others stay in the city to unwind and enjoy. Digs Swansea’s staff will be available during the break for any accommodation-related enquiries, but it’s always a good idea to check with the team for any changes to services or maintenance schedules during the Easter period.
