On Sunday 1st April Gorton Pagan Moot hosted an Easter Egg Hunt around the park.
Children hunted for numbered eggs and wrote down their locations.
In exchange for their completed forms they received a chocolate egg.

The latest craze for youngsters is hiding and hunting coloured, personalised pebbles in public spaces.
The pebbles can then be photographed and uploaded to a local hunt Facebook page, so that the original hider can track their own pebble’s progress.
On Thursday 12th April Gorton Pagan Moot, in association with ‘East Manchester Rocks’ Facebook Group hosted a Pebble-Painting session in the Aviary Building.
Around 300-350 children and adults attended this sucessful event, where they were supplied with pebbles and paints etc so they could personalise their own rocks.
They then went out into the park and found a suitable hiding-place for their creations.
Several of the attendees also found other people’s pebbles and uploaded their photos to the ‘East Manchester Rocks’ and the ‘Parks Rock’ Facebook pages.
