Easter is a lovely time to get together with friends and family. Spring is springing and we all tend to feel a bit brighter and more energetic. The weather is (usually) starting to give us tantalising glimpses of blue skies and warmer days, making it possible to enjoy seaside walks and even (if the Weather Gods are being really kind) a spot of paddling.
And being located in seaside towns, all four of our venues offer the health benefits of getting out into nature; of breathing in the tangy salty air, feeling the sand between your toes and letting your mind roam free as you wander along the shoreline.
Here at Cassino we always embrace the holidays, and Easter is no exception. Our team might not be wearing Easter bonnets, but we WILL be offering a Match event over the Easter Weekend!
And that’s not all: from the 11th – 18th April we’ll also be playing the Easter Bunny by giving our loyalty card members FREE chocolate Easter eggs.
WHO DOESN’T LOVE A FREE CHOCOLATE EGG?!
So whether you’re expecting visitors from afar, planning on meeting up with local friends, visiting our corner of West Sussex or just hoping for a quiet Easter, you can be sure of an ‘eggnormous’ welcome at Cassino.
And to tickle your taste buds we have got some ‘eggsellent’ fun facts for you…
- The biggest decorated Easter egg to date measured 49ft 3in tall, and, in diameter, was an equally whopping 28ft 7in! Created in Pomerode, Santa Catarina, Brazil, on 9 March 2019, this enormous egg took 48 days to make. We bet it didn’t take quite so long to eat…
- Decorating eggs is a tradition that goes waaay back. In Africa, archaeologists found fragments of carved ostrich eggs dating back 60,000 years.
- In Germany, people get all Strictly! with eggs. The Egg Dance is an Easter tradition that sees people putting their eggs on the floor and dancing around them. The aim is to keep all your eggs intact.
- The most expensive chocolate Easter egg of all time was sold for more than $10,000! Weighing 110 pounds, the Venezuelan Amedei chocolate egg was decorated with gold flowers and chocolate pieces in unusual flavours. These included Japanese black vinegar and cassis.
- The modern Easter Bunny is believed to date back to the 1600s, when he was first mentioned in German writings. Named ‘Oschter Haws’ or Easter hare, it was said that this cotton-tailed hero would lay a nest of colourful eggs for nicely behaved children. Evidently children would leave carrots in their nests for the bunny.
