Haydon Wick Parish Council Easter Youth Events Round-Up

What a hoppin’ good time we’ve had this Easter season at Haydon Wick! Our youth events brought smiles, creativity, and chocolate to over 300 children across the parish. Here’s a look at all the egg-citing activities we hosted:

🥚 Easter Egg Hunt Extravaganza Our first event saw over 130 chocolate eggs hidden across King George V Play Park and Queen Elizabeth Drive Play Area. Perfect weather complemented the excitement as children raced in egg and spoon competitions, snapped photos with the Easter Bunny, and even challenged our hopping friend to a football match! Special thanks to our generous councillors for donating some of those delicious eggs.

🎨 Luna Play Park BIG ART Event Creativity flourished as families used unconventional painting tools like sponges, sticks, and cotton buds to create colourful masterpieces! From bugs and flowers to Spiderman, our budding artists transformed recycled event banners into an outdoor gallery that will remain on display until the end of the Easter holiday.

🐰 Easter Crafts Session Our craft sessions were so popular we added an extra one! Families worked together creating bouncy bunnies, wooden spoon characters, and adorable plate-and-cup chicks (all with googly eyes, of course!). The Easter Bunny even made a special appearance to check out the creative fun.

🍫 Chocolaty Finale We wrapped up our Easter celebrations with delicious edible creations! Children made Easter wreaths with pretzels, decorated cake pops, and created crazy chick biscuits. Everyone left with their chocolate goodies to enjoy (or share, if they made it home!).

A heartfelt thank you to Councillors Jackson, Manro, Park and Stevenson for their wonderful support throughout our Easter activities. Stay tuned for more half-term fun coming in May!
