Hi, dabihp - tuesdayafternoon is my DD1 and I think she means the activities listings I do for Primary Times magazine, only they are mostly for primary school age kids. However I have these in Preston:

BONNEY BONNETS
Ribbleton Park, Preston
Be heads above the rest and make an Easter bonnet with the Ranger and then enter the Easter bonnet parade around the park. The owners of the best bonnets win a prize. Don't forget to bring your own hat to decorate! For details tel: 01772 651562

EASTER EGG ROLLING
Hoghton Tower, nr Preston
We will provide the egg and all you need to do is decorate it. We will have an Easter Parade of beautiful painted eggs (bring your best Easter bonnet!) Then onto the very steep and straight driveway to take part in the Egg Rolling Ceremony. Grounds and House open from 1pm-5pm. £2 per person entry to grounds and egg rolling; guided tour of House £3 adult, £2 child. Tel: 01254 852986

Mon 28
ANNUAL EASTER FAIR
Avenham Park, Preston
This large, traditional event offers something for all the family. Fairground rides, information stall selling crafts and all things sweet and not forgetting the great egg race! Tel: 01772 253731

which sound as if they would suit all ages.

Have you looked at Netmums?

[dabihp]

yes, netmums isn't very good or up to date..
Is there a place on this site for storing m&t /groups/activities and events in your local area???

[JanH]

Preston netmums was started by a MNer called Rhubarb who also used to maintain it, but she moved to France last year so I guess it's gone downhill.

Nothing like that on here I'm afraid. I just tried googling pre-school activities in Preston but didn't get very far.

Maybe the MN admin could find space on this site for us to all add our local groups/events?
