  • Westfield Big Local Alice in Wonderland Easter Event
    April 2, 2024      Photo
    It was great to see our community come together for yet another amazing event. Children and parents followed the bunnies on an Easter Bunny Feet hunt, following the map to the Westfield Big Local stall to collect their Easter Egg. We had various stalls, a tombola, drinks & cakes, face painter, hair braider and even an animal petting zoo. Alice and the Madhatter were dancing with the children and also arranged for the children to stand in line for the Easter Bonnet Competition. There were some really good entrants but sadly we could only choose 3 winners. All in all it was a great day and our volunteers did an amazing job as usual arranging it all x
