WITH the Easter weekend bringing hot weather for families to enjoy, you’ll want to know where you can bag yourself a cheap fan.
The country is set to bask in the sun today on Good Friday as warm weather comes courtesy of a plume of balmy air straight from the Sahara.

It means temperatures are set to soar to 23C – which is hotter than Ibiza.
Fans are a great way of keeping cool – especially if you’re wanting to avoid getting hot and sticky at night.
We’ve spotted some bargain fans from shops including Wilko, Argos and B&Q going from £5.50.
But before you splash out, remember to compare prices online.
You might find the same – or similar – item is cheaper elsewhere.
Plus, it’s only a saving if you were planning to buy the item in the first place – so make sure it is not an impulse buy.
You’ll also want to factor in the cost of running a fan overnight too – otherwise you might get a shock when you open up your next energy bill.
It’s especially important following staggering rises to energy cost after the price cap hike saw millions of families’ bills double.
