Plenty of eggcitement over mad hatter easter festival

The inaugural Mad Hatter Easter Festival will take place at the weekend (April 4 and 5) in Ballina. 

Over a fun-filled weekend that caters for children of all ages, the town will turn into an Easter funderland over the two days. 

On Saturday (April 4) there will be an action-packed Easter fun day in the Jackie Clarke Collection from 2 until 4 p.m. in conjunction with the Ballina Girl Guides and the Pearse Street Reunion.

The event will be the perfect start to the festivities, with a treasure hunt throughout the town starting at 2 p.m. too, along with egg painting and lots of fun and games in the Jackie Clarke Collection.

The excitement and giggles continue into Sunday afternoon when the Bunny Hop Express and Easter Egg Hunt come to Belleek Woods. 

This super silly fantastic day will begin in Belleek Woods at 2 p.m. and continue all day until 6 p.m. in conjunction with Ballina Salmon Festival.
