We have partnered with the Friends of Easthill Park to bring a giant Easter Egg Hunt to Old Portslade Village.

Participants can pick up a map to track down chocolate eggs or a lucky dip prize, while the Easter Bunny will make a special appearance to delight young egg hunters at the event on Saturday 12 April. The hunt begins at Easthill Park in Portslade, with a trail leading towards our site via the Manor Road entrance. The Friends of Easthill Park will also be giving away a café voucher as part of the festivities, and we are helping the Easter Bunny hide eggs for participants to find. Volunteers from local business IMEX have helped decorate our site with Easter decorations for the occasion.

Easthill Park, known for its beautiful walled garden filled with mature shrubs and herbaceous borders, serves as the perfect starting point for this fun-filled event.

Nicki Dashwood, Volunteer Coordinator at Sussex Emmaus, said, “The giant Easter Egg Hunt is a lovely way for the community to come together and enjoy some family fun over the Easter holiday. We’re thrilled to partner with the Friends of Easthill Park to make this event possible. Our companions, staff, volunteers, and, of course, the Easter Bunny, look forward to welcoming everyone on the day. Our café and shops will also be open for visitors to explore and enjoy.”

A Spokesperson for Friends of Easthill Park added: “The Friends of Easthill Park are excited to be working with Sussex Emmaus on this lovely event. We hope it will bring a smile to people in Portslade and make a lot of children very happy! We’re also hoping to get some opinions from local people about their hopes and fears for Easthill Park to give us a vision for the park going forwards.” 

The Easter Egg Hunt takes place on Saturday, 12 April, from 10am to 2pm, beginning at Easthill Park, Easthill Way, Portslade, BN41 2FA, and finishing at Sussex Emmaus, Drove Road, Portslade, Brighton, BN41 2PA.
