Life-sized puppets, bunnies and quirky gardeners - Easter fun at Friars Square
Puppets, bunnies and quirky gardeners took part in Easter related fun which delighted and amused those of all ages who were in attendance.

The Bread and Butter Theatre company's gardening brothers Ged and Pete Moss also performed, and were on hand to answer horticultural queries in their comedy show, Gardener's Question Time (very different to the version of the same name on Radio Four!)
The gardeners tackled questions such as “who do you prefer? Brittany Spears or gardening shears?”
Other Easter fun came in the form of a craft workshop, where hundreds of children got to make and decorate their own Easter eggs and chicks, as well as decorating plant pots to plant a seed in.
