Enjoy the good weather week and Easter responsibly with these UK startups

After one of the coldest winters, the sun is all set to shine in Britain just as the rule of six makes a comeback. This rule means people in England are allowed to have outdoor gatherings with their families and friends within a private garden. Also, the number of people is limited to six or two households. 

Adding to that, this week, the temperature could reach as high as 25 degrees C, making it hotter than in Ibiza. However, there are predictions that Easter weekend could be chillier as 1,200 mile-wide polar plunge follows, with snow forecast in some areas.

But as it’s a good weather week and Easter is around the corner, here are ways to make the most out of these blissful seconds and hopefully last, Easter in lockdown. In this article, we also tell you which UK-based startups can help you make the most of this heavenly, summery and festival week. 

Try this if you want to celebrate with more than 6 people

We know the good weather day is on the working days. But why not hop in a park, work in the sun and plan some team-building exercises or Easter virtual celebration with your colleagues. Well, it’s not the same as sitting together physically in a pub or a beer garden, but at least they can experience inclusiveness and conversation while munching your favourite snack and having chilled beer.

London-based Hopin is one of the best platforms for online events where you can create engaging virtual events that connect people around the globe. 

With Hopin, you can create live virtual and hybrid events that are interactive and immersive. Also, the platform lets attendees move in and out of rooms just like an in-person event and enjoy the content and connections you’ve created for them.
