What to do on Sundays and public holidays?

#How to spend your Sunday (or public holiday)?👇🏻

Long holiday weekends are always a source of anxiety: what are we going to do if everything is closed?!😰

No, Brigitte, not everything is closed and there are plenty of things to do, at home or elsewhere, to occupy your time on a Sunday or public holiday! Here we list 25 fun activities to do or other types of activities to smartly occupy your time!😉

#25 activities for a Sunday or public holiday

1. Museums

Some museums open their doors on Sundays and public holidays, and sometimes entry is free!

2. Exhibitions

Art galleries also open on Sundays and public holidays. A chance to discover an emerging artist!

3. Flea markets

It’s usually on Sundays that people browse local flea markets. Go hunting for retro toys, vintage dishes, or furniture to refurbish.

4. Urban Escape Games

An urban adventure in the city of your choice: a playful way to (re)discover your city. A mobile app and a motivated team are all you need to have fun 😉 Several escape game or treasure hunt scenarios are available at Coddy. Choose your urban adventure here. 🧩📱

5. Walks, hikes

There are tons of walks to do in your area, for sure! What could be better than getting some fresh air in the countryside or forest. 🌲

6. Bike ride

If walking doesn’t appeal, maybe a bike ride will motivate you more? 🚲

7. Hand car wash

Not the most fun activity but really useful! A good wash for your car, a quick vacuum inside, and it’s like new. 🚗 The same goes for cleaning your bike!

8. Tidying, cleaning

While you’re at it, why not do a spring clean on a Sunday! If you have nothing else to do, it’s a chance to finally sort that room where you dump all the stuff and shut the door to avoid confronting it. 🧹

9. Movie / series marathon

For the laziest or most tired among you: a little Harry Potter, LOTR, Star Wars or other marathon is in order. It’s also the time to try that series everyone’s been talking about for ages.🎬

10. Batch cooking

Use your time wisely and spend your Sunday or holiday preparing meals for the whole week! It’ll save you tons of time and let you do many other things on other days. 🍳

11. Sewing / Knitting

A little craft activity on a rainy Sunday? Some sewing to mend your trousers, or make reusable makeup remover pads. Or knitting to prepare for winter with hats and scarves? 🥶

12. Painting / Ceramics

Something more artistic? Paintings or little pots? It’s up to you to see what you do best.

13. Make your own cosmetics / cleaning products

Sundays or public holidays are also a good time to make your own cleaning products or cosmetics. To avoid buying potentially harmful products or plastic-packaged items that pollute, there are plenty of fun recipes to try and you don’t need much to make your own products!

14. Brunch at a restaurant

Sunday means brunch, right? It’s the best day to book a brunch with friends and be served or linger over a well-stocked sweet-and-savory buffet!🥞

15. Read in a café

If you want to chill but also get out of the house, a nice option is to sit in a café with a book. 📖

16. Sort your wardrobe and resell your clothes

Another not-so-fun but very useful activity: decluttering! It helps you see your wardrobe clearly and gives your unused clothes a second life by selling them to someone who needs them! Vinted is your best friend for that.

17. Work out (at home, or at the gym if open)

For the most motivated readers, of course there are great workouts to do on Sunday! Fewer people at the gym (for the ones that stay open) means more time to use the machines. 🏋🏽‍♀️

18. Go to dinner with family

The classic Sunday family meal: say hello to granny or invite your sister over. Plan to spend the whole afternoon with family afterwards though, because it rarely lasts only an hour!

19. Take time for yourself: meditation, relaxation

A short meditation session in the living room, a nice hot bath, relaxing music, essential oils or breathing exercises. On Sundays and public holidays we also like to take care of ourselves. 🛁

20. Botanical garden

A stroll in a park or botanical garden for a green outing on Sunday is also possible—many remain open!🌿

21. Escape Room or escape game at home

Lead the investigation and try to escape in less than an hour? For the more daring, an escape room is a great alternative. To occupy your Sunday or holiday, solving puzzles at home can also be more comfortable with Escape Kit: games for all ages ! 🧩

22. Thrift store shopping

Most stores are usually closed on Sundays. But not thrift stores! Most of them stay open and are waiting for you on Sunday. 👗

23. Animal park

Many animal parks don’t close on Sundays and public holidays so you or your children can come and enjoy and admire various animal species!🦫

24. Amusement park

Another type of park that doesn’t close on Sundays! Amusement parks stay open all weekend to give you maximum thrills!🎢

25. Cinema

And finally, a trip to the cinema to see your next favorite movie on the big screen is also possible on Sunday!🍿

• BONUS : and, of course, the staple Sunday activity: take a nap, simply rest!🥱

#Go on an adventure on Sunday (and/or public holiday)!

Tempted by an urban adventure in the city of your choice? Don’t wait to book your game!

And if, by bad luck, the weather isn’t on your side that Sunday, you can postpone your adventure to the next Sunday, or the one after! Your game is valid for 365 days after purchase.
