Easter markets to include egg hunt

- such as those selling crafts - can hire a stall for the day. Anyone interested in a stall can email markets supervisor andrew.burns@erewash.gov.uk

Long Eaton market is held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Stalls include cakes, a butcher, fruit and veg, fish, flowers and plants, rugs, menswear and a hot potatoes stall.

Exciting Easter markets to be held in Erewash will include a free egg hunt for children.

In Long Eaton the Easter market will be on Friday 7 April and in Ilkeston on Saturday 8 April. Both events will have face painting and a balloon modeller.

To take part in the free Easter egg hunt, where children will receive a chocolate egg, just pick up an entry sheet from a designated stall.

The aim of the Easter markets is to bring communities together. Regular traders will be there and other traders

Councillor Bryn Lewis, Lead Member for Town Centres, says: “The Easter markets will not only be a fun day out but also a chance for people to visit our town centres to see the fantastic goods local traders have to offer.”

A number of other specialist stalls are being planned for the year. Once details are finalised further information will be published on the council’s website.

Ilkeston market takes place on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Stalls includes cakes, a bakery (on Saturday), egg stall, flowers and plants, fashion, sweets, cleaning products, a catering van, fruit and veg, a butcher, phone accessories, a watch stall, and a jeweller.

Further information will be published on erewash.gov.uk, or the council’s Facebook, Twitter and Instagram closer to the event.
