Families in Swindon, Wiltshire, can take part in a lakeside Easter trail and bonnet parade at Lydiard Park on April 5, 2026. This event, organised by Swindon Borough Council, provides a low-cost outdoor activity for the community and will run from 11:00 am until 3:00 pm.
The trail costs £5 per child and follows a path around the park’s lake. There is no need to book in advance as the event is designed for people to drop in on the day, though the last entry to the trail will be at 2:15 pm.
Every child who finishes the trail will receive a prize. To make sure the event is safe for everyone, organisers have chosen prizes that are not food items to accommodate children who have allergies.
A traditional Easter bonnet parade is also scheduled for 12:30 pm and costs £2 to enter. Visitors should keep in mind that while the activities are priced to be affordable for families, standard parking charges for the site still apply.
Lydiard Park has been a public space since 1943 and covers 260 acres of historic land. The council organises these seasonal activities to help residents explore the park and enjoy the local heritage during the spring holidays.
