Families from across Blyth and the surrounding area celebrated Easter with a fun-filled day in the beautiful surroundings of Ridley Park where hosts Blyth Town Council provided its annual free Easter Family Fun Day.
The much-loved community event contained an exciting programme of free family activities, entertainment and seasonal fun for children of all ages.
Young visitors took part in Easter egg hunts and treasure hunts, searching across the park for hidden surprises before collecting their Easter treats. Creative youngsters also enjoyed face painting and craft activities run with support from local partners including Blyth Library.
Children were invited to show off their creativity in the Easter Bonnet Competition and Decorated Egg Competition and an interactive Fun Little Foodies workshops saw children exploring cooking and baking in a safe and engaging environment.
Entertainment included silent discos, funfair rides, and a doggy agility course, ensuring there was plenty to keep the whole family entertained.
Visitors were also able to enjoy a wide range of food stalls and sweet treats, including favourites from Barista Beast, Mr Chipstix, Dinky Donuts and Mister Ridley’s Parlour.
Alongside the entertainment, there was local market stalls to browse offering crafts, gifts, baked goods, clothing, jewellery and more.
The Easter Family Fun Day is one of several popular events organised by Blyth Town Council each year to bring the community together and celebrate the town’s vibrant spirit. The town has submitted a bid for the 2028 UK Town of Culture. This event is just one of the many organised by Blyth Town Council each year including Blyth Live Music Festival, Christmas Lights and the firework extravaganza.
