City council bosses have confirmed that the Easter Monday tradition is back with a variety of food and drink vendors, free entertainment for all the family, craft workshops, arts performances and, egg rolling every hour on the grassy hills of Avenham and Miller parks.
Egg rolling, which began in 1867, traditionally involved rolling decorated eggs down grassy hills known as pace-eggs. Children would then roll their pace-eggs down the hills and see who could get theirs the furthest without it breaking.The programme for Egg Rolling on Monday April 10 includes the return of the traditional Easter bonnet making workshop and Easter bonnet competition, with the best hats winning a prize.
View gallery Councillor Peter Kelly, Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure Services at Preston City Council, said: “Prestonians will be delighted to see Egg Rolling return for 2023, the family favourite annual event is a much-loved Preston tradition going back generations. This year brings a variety of traditional activities, free workshops and an assortment of entertainment for all the family.
“Preston City Council has commissioned six local creatives following a community call out to create and deliver custom Easter-themed workshops. Egg Rolling 2023 is bound to be a day full of excitement and fun that everyone is welcome to attend and enjoy.”
