Art in the park came to Ellesmere Port.

As part of the town’s Arts Festival, the Friends of Whitby Park organised an Easter event with a trail of more than 30 posters on an Easter theme of Peace and Love, painted by children from local primary schools displayed around the park.

A total of 46 families from all over the town took part in the event with the mayor and mayoress, Cllr Bob and Mrs Liz Crompton, visiting and completing the trail quiz.

“We need and would welcome anyone to join the committee.”
