To some Easter is a haven of chocolate. To others it represents the annual call for 2 weeks of DIY madness. Here at thebestof Monmouth we can assure you there are a variety of things to do some of which don’t fall into either of these categories. So if you are looking for inspiration, carry on reading!
Days and evenings out
Shire Hall Monmouth is an option for great days out and attractions – they offer a unique tour into our history plus they have an exclusive offer of “Bring a Friend for Free”. There’s lots to see for friends, families and children so why not head on down to the wonderful, historic Shire Hall (with a friend!) and enjoy all that it has to offer. Click here to access the Bring a Friend for Free offer.
Both the Blake Theatre and Savoy Theatre have a number of great productions coming up over to choose from as well as a good choice of both art house and mainstream films to choose from. You could book a pre or post dinner and there’s a large choice of restaurants to head to including:
The Coach House - great for pre-theatre dining with this great offer
Misbah Tandoori
Bistro Prego in the Old Town (opens at 6.30pm)
If you are looking for something really different to do then how about booking a vineyard tour at Ancre Hill Estates. A great day out plus you get to see an English vineyard in action, sample their gorgeous wines and enjoy a lunch platter of Welsh cheeses and a glass of estate wine.
Easter presents
If you are looking to replace the ubiquitous chocolate with something a little different, here are a few suggestions for you.
Say it with flowers from Emma Webster Flowers who has a 15% discount on all flowers purchased or orders leading up to Easter from this 2nd April onwards.

Treat the woman in your life to something a little bit gorgeous and take her shopping at Mono in the Old Town for fabulous designer clothes, Bojangles for a handbag or maybe Envee for shoes. Alternatively, if the belle de jour likes being pampered why not book her a beauty appointment at Hair & Beauty or a new hairstyle at Monmouth’s newest salon, Andrew Bayliss. Whichever you choose she will love you for it!
ARTico in the Old Town offers an eclectic range of gifts including home-ware, artwork and jewellery. In addition its framing service gives you the chance to present a favourite photo for all to admire. PLUS it has a very special offer of a free item of jewellery when you spend £40 or more in the store. Click here for more details.
After all that shopping do pop into the La Piazza Tea Rooms to put your feet up and enjoy a delicious afternoon tea in Monmouth.
DIY
Now, Easter is undoubtedly the time of year that sees the local DIY centres filling with people full of enthusiasm and ideas for feathering their nest. If that’s what you’ve got planned then do go to Handyman House in Monmouth. Here you will receive friendly, helpful advice on a range of DIY jobs as well as find all the equipment you need for your DIY needs.
If you are looking to revamp your bathroom then speak to Bikini Bathrooms first. They have nearly 3 decades of experience to offer and many great testimonials from satisfied clients.
If home entertainment is high on the list of priorities take some time to visit Ceritech near Monnow Bridge. Here you will find the very best in Hi-Fi, Home Cinema and Multi-room Entertainment systems replete with independent advice and excellent value for money.
