No chocolate eggs for us... yet!

We have been hard boiling hundreds of eggs for Easter that will be decorated by participants at our Easter Giggle Town Egg-straordinaire as part of our Art Cafe, we'll also have our stilt walkers, circus skills workshops and to finish off the day our 'Giggle Along...' Show - The Marvellous Chocolate Egg Factory.

You may wonder why we use real eggs and not plastic eggs, surely that would less messy? Well its all part of the fun, after decorating the egg and allowing it to 'rest' (i.e. allowing the glue, glitter and all manner of items stuck on the eggs to dry - cue circus skills) the participants then proudly parade their egg creations and then line up for the egg rolling eggstravaganza! The Egg King or Queen (depending on their commitments) preside over the ceremony as each round of competitors roll their egg, (under arm rolling only) the egg that is rolled the furthest (and is most intact) wins!
