Easter holiday fun

START the school holidays with a bang!

Easter festivities are a chance to take a step back from work or school and reconnect with family and friends. With autumn winds and rainy weather comes a well-deserved break, an opportunity to sleep till noon and eat a tonne of chocolate.

The last thing any parent wants to do is drive to an overpriced Easter event with a handful of kids in the back seat screaming “are we there yet?”

Local community holiday events are the best of both worlds; free effortless Easter fun.

Leading up to Easter Sunday, on the morning of March 30 the Beerwah Primary P&C is hosting the Woodlands Community Easter Show, located at the Beerwah State School Oval, Old Gympie Rd.

Lifting community spirits with family-friendly activities including market stalls, children entertainment and the egg hunt. Register for free at trybooking.com.

Beerwah Hotel has announced their Easter Sunday Kids Party! From 12-2pm on 53 Beerwah Parade, competitions, egg hunts, and food specials will entertain chocolate-crazed children, while adults enjoy lunch and a drink at their trusted pub.

As we enter April, Landsborough Museum attempts to hold onto fleeting Easter spirits by inviting kids to get creative in a basket building workshop, followed by a hunt for eggs through the history enriched Museum, from April 1-16. Amidst this, Bankfoot House organised one final Easter egg hunt on April 5 from 10-11am.
