It’s back again this year!
Families will follow trails around the Bradley Stoke area to search for hidden letters displayed on decorated Easter eggs. Once all the letters have been found, children can try to spell out the Easter word or phrase. On completion of the trails, families can bring their completed answer sheets to The Willow Brook Centre to receive an Easter surprise for their children. Enjoy a fun photo opportunity to remember this event (one Easter surprise per child per completed trail pack).
Trail Maps on sale from Monday 31st March 2025.
