Preston Market is gearing up for the Easter school holidays with a series of fun FREE activities for the whole family to enjoy.

Kicking off on Sunday 24 March, the northside market will come alive with an egg-cellent Easter Egg Hunt from 11am to 1pm and a roving Easter Bunny from 11am to 2pm. 

Little adventurers will have a blast hunting for all the hidden Easter eggs in and around the market whilst following a map. There’s no age limit or registration required, just head down to the Preston Market management office to collect a cup and map before embarking on the egg-citing journey. 

What’s more, children can collect chocolate Easter eggs from the generous roving Easter Bunny throughout the day. 

The market will continue with its fun-filled school holiday activities on Wednesday 3 April. From 11am to 1pm, balloon twisters will bring colourful creatures and objects to life, whilst talented face painters will transform children's dreams into reality from 11am to 2pm.
