A fun filled Easter in Oswestry and the Borderlands for all the family.
Here’s a special itinerary for three fun filled family days come rain or shine over Easter Weekend.
Easter Friday –It’s family fun day in Oswestry market. Come along to the Bailey Head market square between 10 am and 2.30pm. You can meet the alpacas and enjoy the rides and entertainment. Will there be chocolate? You might have to follow the Easter trail to find out!
Take a break for lunch – The Beech Tree is right on the edge of the market square or how about an Easter pizza at Amber’s just around the corner?
Want to get up close to more animals? Then head to the British Ironwork Centre. They are having one of their Animal Family days on Easter Friday. There are three sessions through the day so it’s a good idea to book. https://www.britishironworkcentre.co.uk/event_item/animal-experience-with-the-animal-family-29th-march/
If you prefer the metal sort of animals, then the safari trail is another great way to spend your afternoon. Did you leave room for chocolate cake in the Forge café?

Easter Saturday – It’s Oswestry’s wackiest Saturday of the year when The Circus Bus come to town. Come along to the Bailey Head to see the crazy antics of the circus performers – you could even take part! Ready for a stroll through town? Watch out, you never know who you will bump into. Those crazy grannies with their super market trollies might just be heading your way.
Cambrian Railways’ trains are running too. Take a ride down to Weston Wharf from old Oswestry Station. There’s a fun activity trail there and there could even be an Easter Egg hunt too.

Easter Sunday – A full day of fun on Easter Sunday or any day in the Easter holidays is an outing to Park Hall the Countryside Experience. Those larger than life size bunnies will be bounding around as part of their fairytale Easter Eggstravangaza. Meet the newly born lambs, take a barrel train ride or groom a pony. It wll be a full day of fun for every age.

The sun doesn’t always shine at Easter but with a Virtual Experience at Black Hawk Laser Quest, the weather doesn’t matter.
You could thoroughly wet with a Bearded Men Adventures too – take a canoe across the awesome Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. For a more leisurely (and dryer) trip on the water take a ride on Llangollen’s Horse Drawn Boats.
For a totally locked in adventure, dont miss the great Eggscape from Shrewsbury prison. Black Hawk Laser | Bearded Men Adventures | Llangollen Wharf | AngloWelsh Boat trips | Shrewsbury prison
