EASTER is set to be filled with “egg-citement”, with family fun planned at Craggaunowen and Bunratty Folk Park.
Shannon Heritage has arranged for the Easter bunny to make a special appearance in Craggaunowen, where he will hand out hundreds of Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday, from 1pm at ‘The Living Past Experience’ in the park.
Children will be able to show off their bouncing skills on a bouncy castle and there will be entertainment for all with a puppet show, magic show, traditional story telling, and music.
There will also be a ‘Cartoon Capers’ event at Bunratty Folk Park on Easter Monday, from 1pm to 5pm, when favourite cartoon characters will make an appearance. Life sized characters will include Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Snow White and many others.
All are urged to come to the park dressed as pirates or princesses to take part in an action packed programme at a special Captain Cook Pirate corner, where games wiill include ‘blind walks’, ‘treasure hunts’, and a lesson in how to make a pirate sword from balloons.
A Mad Hatters Tea Party, story time with Snow White, face painters, stilt walker’s and jugglers, will all add to the magical atmosphere that will fill the park.
Family tickets are available at the venues and normal admission rates will apply, with no additional charges for the added entertainment.
