Newquay Town Council is inviting families, residents, and visitors to enjoy a fun filled day of free Easter activities at the Easter Egg stravaganza on Saturday 4th April, taking place on the Killacourt from 10am to 4pm.
The event is free to attend, with no admission or activity charges, and 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, with more surprises to come!
Adding to the day’s celebrations, the BIG Newquay Market, hosted by Cornwall Shop Small in collaboration with Newquay BID, will run on the Killacourt from 10am–4pm. Visitors can browse a wide range of stalls showcasing products from talented local artisans and makers.
Beyond the Egg‑stravaganza, families can enjoy two free Easter town trails running from Tuesday 7th April until Saturday 18th April.
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 a small Easter treat.
Running alongside this is the Golden Rocks Hunt, with 50 golden rocks hidden around Newquay for children to find. Any golden rock can be taken to Newquay Library and Information Service, where children aged 12 and under can exchange it for an Easter treat kindly donated by Sainsbury’s Newquay (alternatives available).
(Please note: the Library and Information Service is closed on Sundays.)
Mayor of Newquay, Councillor Drew Creek, commented: “I am thrilled to announce the exciting range of activities that Newquay Town Council will be offering this Easter. Like in previous years, we want to ensure that our younger residents and their families have lots to do in our town during the Easter break.
“Our team is pulling out all the stops and I very much look forward to seeing you all on 4th April on the Killacourt - it promises to be a great day.”
