Easter Egg Hunt – thanks to everyone
As you will have seen from all the pictures below, the Easter Egg Hunt was a fantastic success in spite of the cold weather. We estimate some 300 children took part and all received an Easter egg.
Thanks must go to our sponsors for making the event possible:
- Maslen’s Estate Agents, Fiveways
- Co-op, Fiveways
- Sussex Electrics
We’ll be holding a similar event next year. Perhaps this time it will be something between a heatwave and a polar expedition.

Easter Egg Hunt, Sunday April 8
Arrangements are now in place for our second Easter quiz for children up to the age of 13. Last year’s event was really successful, everyone had a great time, although the heat meant that both children and choccy eggs had to be kept cool!
As before, each child will be given a question sheet (different questions than last year’s) and will have to hunt down the answers which will be dotted around the park. The questions will all relate to the park in some way: its history, flora, fauna or architecture – so not only will it be fun, it will also give children a better understanding of our beautiful park. There will be two question sheets for two age-groups and everyone will have a small prize. There will be also be a drawing area where a picture of something in the park can be created – the most interesting picture for both age-groups will win a special prize.
The event will start at 11am and we’ll be there until the eggs run out (last year we ended the event at about 2.30pm). We’ll be in a marquee next to the children’s playground.
Harvest’s Spring Seedling Swap
Sunday 20 May, 10am-1pm
Come and swap or buy seedlings for your garden! Have you got some spare seedlings you’d like to swap for some new and different varieties? Or perhaps you had the best intentions to sow some seeds but just didn’t get around to it? Join us for the swap, plus family-friendly activities by our vegetable garden in Preston Park. Organised jointly by the Food Partnership’s Harvest project and Brighton & Hove Organic Gardening Group.
