Easter In Orrell 2025

The Orrell Easter Egg-stravaganza


This year, we are really egg-cited to be holding a joint fun-filled Easter event with Greenslate Farm.


Taking place over TWO days, it will start on Good Friday, 18th April with the Easter Pebble Hunt. 30 decorated and numbered pebbles will be egg-spertly hidden around Orrell and Billinge Higher End by the Easter Bunny and his helpers. Clues of where to find them will be posted on our Facebook page on the Friday morning. If you are able to ‘crack’ one of the clues and find a pebble then let us know. Simply post a photo with the number of the pebble, and where you discovered it.


But please remember the egg-stra special rule! 


Only ONE pebble per child to claim ONE egg-cellent Easter Egg!


Then, come to Greenslate Farm on Saturday 19th April, 11am–2pm to claim your prize from the Easter Bunny himself!


If you miss the main hunt? Don’t worry – there’ll be a few more sneaky pebbles, including a special GOLDEN pebble hidden along the Bunny Trail at the farm!


While you’re there, you can enjoy:

  • Lots of egg-straordinary children’s crafts – including bunny masks, Easter cards, book marks, decorations and Easter bonnets!!
  • Face painting
  • A tombola with plenty of chances to win even more Easter eggs!
  • And don’t forget the egg-citing raffle with lots of cracking prizes!


The Pebble Hunt and some of the children’s crafts are FREE.


The Bunny Trail and Quiz will be £1, ALL proceeds to Greenslate Farm


The face painting will be £1, ALL proceeds to Greenslate Farm

EASTER AT GREENSLATE FARM

This was a really successful first joint event between Brighter Better Orrell and Greenslate Farm.


A big thank you to the Greenslate girls and Gary, the BBO volunteers, Co-op Lea Green RDC for their generosity donating the Easter eggs and our local Councillors help in supporting the event with Brighter Borough funding.


A big shout out to our TWO Easter bunnies too!


Well done to those who managed to find one of the bonus Easter pebbles at the farm today. Including little Isla who found our Golden pebble


And finally a big thanks to the community for turning up and making it a big success. All money raised by us at BBO will go into keeping our community clean and green, and all money raised by Greenslate Farm will go towards looking after their animals


We hope everyone who came along enjoyed it
