There’s plenty of going on around our borough this Easter – take a look at some free and paid activities you can do with the kids here.

Egg Hunt, Royton Cricket Club

Located at Royton Cricket Club, the egg hunt is only part of this jampacked day of fun on Easter Monday.

Costing £2 per child, the hunt itself takes place at 3pm, but the day lasts from 2pm to 5pm, with a performance from local street dance group ‘Fierce’ and plenty of activities and stalls on offer.

Open from 10.30am to 5.30pm daily, inflatables and bouncy castles promise to make it a day to remember. £1 entry at the door, and each ride costs extra – check online for deals on ride tokens.

Easter Break, Lancaster Park

Fun for the whole family, entry costs £6 per adult or child, with children under 12 months old going free. Feed the lambs for an extra £3 – but bring cash as they don’t take card at the farm.

Open 9.30am to 4pm daily until April 24, tickets can be bought online in advance or cash only in-person. Activities include petting animals, bathing the giant tortoise on Wednesdays and Saturdays, feeding animals, and more.

Free family activities, High Crompton Park

Full Circle NW CIC is hosting a fun-filled day of outdoor games, circus skills, and arts and crafts at High Crompton Park on Thursday April 21.

The fun starts at 11am and carries on until 1pm. Children must be accompanied by an adult, so don’t send them alone.
