Starting on the Village Green
Tickets £1 per childThe Preston Trust committee would like to invite you to its Easter Egg Hunt. We are are asking for bookings so that we have enough eggs for everyone and so that if a child has any dietary needs they can still take part in the fun! Simply let us know any allergies or intolerances when you book. Payment of £1 per child will be on the day.
Follow a short trail through the village to where the Easter Eggs have been hidden, with things to do along the way...
A great time to share with your children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews!
We look forward to welcoming you.
Rae, Preston Trust committee member
