Easter Egg Rolling

The annual Egg Rolling or Easter Fair on 5th April 10am to 3pm dates back to Victorian times although its exact origins are a mystery. However, the tradition has continued to modern times and continues to capture the imagination of all generations.

The main highlights of the event are the rolling of Easter eggs down the hill side of Avenham Park and the judging of the Easter Bonnet Parade.
watch out for the following:

· Punch and Judy shows will be going on throughout the day

· 1:00pm there will be an Easter Bonnet Parade and competition at the main roadshow

· Traditonal music will be provided by local bands, times and bands to be confirmed

· A unique Egg Rolling exhibition of your picutres and memories of past Egg Rollings in the pavilion.

Additional entertainment includes: The Lancashire Evening Post Road show, Outdoor Craft Stalls, Children’s Crafts, Children’s Fun Fair, Inflatables, Climbing Wall and Mobile Catering. Timings and arrangements are subject to change.

Children are encouraged to come to the event in their Easter bonnets and enter the competition which is judged by the Mayor of Preston at 1:00pm. The competition will be held at the roadshow.
