Step out with a spring in your step now that spring has sprung and the sun is peaking out! After the austerity of recent months, April is a great time to start enjoying yourself. With lots of chocolate bunnies and eggs, and tasty hot cross buns on sale, this is a great time to start indulging your sweet tooth. So pack a picnic, bring along a blanket and have fun outdoors this month!

April 3rd – Oxford/Cambridge Boat Race, London
The two universities take their traditional rivalry out of the lecture halls and onto the Thames in this annual competition between the two institutions. The boat race starts at Putney Bridge and follows the course of the river, before ending north of Chiswick Bridge. Test your knowledge of rowing terms and see if you can differentiate between the cox and the stroke.

April 10th – The Grand National, Liverpool
This venerable sporting institution is bound to be a feast for the eyes, and I’m not just talking about the horses. Attendees get dressed up in their best outfits and sip on champagne while cheering on their favourites during this popular horse race at Aintree. The race is also televised on BBC1, so you will be able to catch it even if you can’t make it to Liverpool.

April 25th – London Marathon, London
Work off those Easter treats by taking part in this marathon through London. The race starts near Greenwich Park, and eventually ends up at The Mall. If you’re one of those who would prefer to observe the action rather than taking part in it, you can view the race from several strategic locations, the most popular spots being the starting and finishing lines.
