Friends of Illingworth Park in Ossett hosted its annual Easter egg hunt complete with a bun sale, a raffle and a visit from the Easter bunny.

At Anglers Country Park, families got to meander around an Easter Fairy Trail and at the National Coal Mining Museum, children got to take part in a free arts and crafts session, creating their very best drawings of canary birds.

And at Nostell Priory, families got to take part in nature-inspired activities, exploring the beautiful gardens, whilst taking part in a Easter egg hunt.

Take a look at these nine pictures from some of the Easter events around the district.

Here is a round-up of some of the Easter events held across Wakefield in 2023.
