For those staying In the Cove over Easter, we’ve trawled the local businesses to find out who will be open over the Easter break.
So if you NEED a coffee on Good Friday or Easter Sunday (and who doesn’t!?) or you’re all out of a vital ingredient for Easter baking, we’ve got the intel here with our list of trading hours.
Some local takeaway shops will close early on Easter Thursday, so if you are really keen on picking up some tucker from those shops, don’t leave it until the last minute.
We have done our best to ensure the information below is accurate. However, plans do change, so if you are really keen on a particular place, give them a call to check.

Church Services
Anglican Services
LCM Churches
9am – Friday April 3 – Good Friday
On Good Friday we quietly and prayerfully remember the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Through scripture, prayer, and reflection, we recall the time of his suffering and death and prepare our hearts for the hope of Easter — the promise that through Christ’s resurrection sin and death are defeated, and new life with God is opened to all.
9am – Sunday April 5 – Easter Sunday
Join us on Easter Sunday as we celebrate with great joy the good news that Jesus Christ is risen! We celebrate the resurrection and discover why Easter Sunday is the central hope of the Christian faith – the victory of life over death and the new beginning God offers to the world through Jesus.
