Yes. Most notably in 1983.
Here's a bit from a report on it from the Met Office's website:
The most widespread and disruptive Easter snow was in 1983 (Easter Sunday: 3 April). It started late on Good Friday, with snow over the hills of north-east England and the Midlands. Then on Saturday and into the early part of Easter Day, the entire eastern side of the country, from Scotland to Kent, was affected as northerly winds drove a band of snow southwards. During the night, Essex and Kent saw several centimetres of snow settle, with over 10 cm in parts of Kent for a time, blocking roads. After further snow in the south-east in the early hours of Monday, a thaw quickly set in.

Oh yes, quite a lot, particularly during the various ice ages, although technically, as a certain person hadn't been crucified, it wasn't Easter, however as mentioned before, snow is not unheard of at Easter time. Over the past 45 years or so, snow has fallen quite regularly, even in lowland areas, if only briefly. For example, 1958, 1965, 1970, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1978, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1994 and 1998 were all years when snow fell.

Hi lived in the UK for over sixty years and it frequently snows at Easter and later. In recent years Snow has become less here in the north west of the UK, but snow it does and snow it will. PS usually when I have been camping at Easter
