The Preston tradition of rolling Easter Eggs, both chocolate and decorated ones, down the steep park slopes was kept alive and well.

Families enjoyed sending their eggs down the side of Avenham Park hill in hour intervals from 11am.

With a climbing wall, fun fair and live music and entertainment the egg rolling now has the feel of a free family festival.

CBBC stars from Swashbuckle also appeared on stage.
