Thousands pack Winchburgh's Auldcathie Park for Easter Egg-stravaganza
Almost three thousand people packed Winchburgh's Auldcathie Park for an Easter Egg-stravaganza. Some 2800 people enjoyed egg hunts, stilt-walkers, ice-cream and face-painting in an action packed series of events in the heart of Scotland's fastest-growing town. The much-loved annual event attracted 1600 guests last year, and its growing popularity reflects the excellent organisation of Winchburgh Community Growing Group, with generous financial support from Winchburgh Developments Ltd. [WDL] and local housebuilders. Group member John West said: 'There was fun for all the family. Of course, the brilliant Easter Sunday weather helped everyone have a great time. 'There was a constant flow of people in the park throughout the day for the toddlers' and family egg hunts, food and drink stalls and more.' The event, which is one of a regular series of community events in the town, also featured a live DJ, balloon art, demonstrations by Deeside Willow and a plant sale by Mo from RHS. Penny Lochhead, community sport and green space manager for WDL, said: 'It's been an amazing start to the year for the Winchburgh Growers, who had the growing area looking fabulous for Easter. "We are delighted to continue our support for the Growers and the Winchburgh Wombles - the volunteers' hard work provides a sanctuary for the community in the heart of Winchburgh, and they host so many wonderful community events such as this one which bring everyone together.' 'We're so lucky to be part of a community that embraces a village mentality when it comes to community events for all ages of people but that also offers all the benefits of a town through its infrastructure and amenities,' added John Hamilton, CEO of town masterplanner WDL. 'Congratulations go to John West and his team of excellent volunteers for laying on another fun- filled weekend for a record-breaking number of local people to enjoy.'
