THE community is invited to enjoy a fun‑filled day of free Easter activities in Newquay.

Newquay Town Council is staging an Easter egg‑stravaganza at the Killacourt on Saturday, April 4, from 10am to 4pm.

The event offers a lively programme designed for children and families to enjoy together.

Young visitors can set off on an Easter egg hunt, with each child receiving a chocolate egg or an alternative.

Easter‑themed storytelling sessions with Hotch Potch Performance will take place at set times during the day, joining a line‑up that also includes face painting, mini fairground rides, and an Easter trail with a prize at the end. Families can also enjoy garden games, outdoor play, and a children’s disco from the bandstand.

The BIG Newquay Market, hosted by Cornwall Shop Small in collaboration with Newquay BID, will run on the Killacourt and on Bank Street from 10am to 4pm. Visitors can browse a wide range of stalls showcasing products from talented local artisans and makers.

Families can enjoy two free Easter town trails running from Tuesday, April 7, until Saturday, April 18.

The Easter trail invites families to explore Newquay using a trail sheet collected from Newquay Library and Information Service. Children follow clues leading to shop windows around the town, each displaying a hidden Easter egg poster with a letter to collect. Completed sheets can be returned to the library for an Easter treat.

Fifty golden rocks will be hidden around Newquay for children to find as part of the Golden Rocks Hunt.

Golden rock can be taken to Newquay Library and Information Service, where children aged 12 and under can exchange it for an Easter treat donated by Sainsbury’s Newquay.

Mayor Cllr Drew Creek, said: “Our team is pulling out all the stops. I’m look forward to seeing everyone. It promises to be a great day.”
