Newark’s Beaumond House Hospice Care is bringing bank holiday fun for all the family to the town with the return of its annual Easter Fun Day.
Taking place at Newark Market Place on Friday, 18th April, from 10am to 3pm, the event will raise funds through activities, including inflatables, toy tombola, face painting, Easter crafts, egg and spoon races, and biscuit decorating.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to take part in games such as ultimate wipeout, crazy golf, and a penalty shoot-out, as well as a disco.
Matt Colbourne, head of fundraising and communications at Beaumond House, said: “Our Easter Fun Day is becoming a much-loved tradition to kick off the bank holiday weekend and we’re delighted to be bringing it back for the third time this year.
“Whether you’re looking to bring out your competitive side with our egg and spoon race and penalty shoot-out, or get ‘arty’ with our Easter crafts and biscuit decorating, there is something for everyone.
“We’re grateful to the people of Nottinghamshire for always getting behind us and supporting these events, which not only offer great fun but also the opportunity to help us raise money for the specialist palliative care we provide.
“It costs us around £2.2m to deliver our services every year and around £1.6m of this must be raised through donations, shops and local businesses. The money raised from events like these is invaluable as we continue to provide free, palliative care and help our patients to live well and die well.
“We look forward to seeing lots of new and familiar faces at the Easter Fun Day. It will be a fantastic day, whatever the weather!”
Tickets for the Easter Fun Day are on sale, with wristbands priced £8 per child (aged 16 and under) when booked online in advance. Wristbands are also available to buy on the day, priced £10. Activities may be subject to change.
