Simply pick up a trail sheet from any of the participating retailers and embark on a delightful journey through our vibrant town centres.

But the fun doesn't stop there! On Saturday, 30th March, join us at a special Easter Market at The AMP in Arnold, where the Easter Bunny himself will make a guest appearance. It's an event not to be missed, filled with festivities, treats, and the perfect opportunity to soak up the Easter atmosphere with friends and family.

In addition to the joy of hunting for eggs, our Easter egg trails have a heartwarming twist. Some of the beautifully decorated eggs displayed in shop windows in Arnold have been lovingly designed by local schoolchildren from various schools.
