Belconnen Fresh Food Markets has everything you need for the perfect Easter break. Whether you’re hanging around town for the weekend, or escaping Canberra for one last time before winter sets in, everything you need for a wonderful few days over the Easter period.

There’s plenty going on at the markets this weekend to get you, your family and your friends prepared for the weekend. Saturday is the big day, with plenty of activities for the kids. From 10.30am Kids Pantry is hosting a cooking class in the Market Kitchen where participants will walk away with their very own Hot Cross Muffins and Market Kitchen aprons.

Other activities throughout the day include face-painting (from 11.00am until 12.00pm) and everybody’s favourite: The Easter Egg Hunt. Taking place from 12.30pm – 12.45pm, you can expect energy levels to reach fever pitch in a diminutive display of frenzied foraging for chocolate treats. Sadly, you have to be under 16 to participate, but everyone is welcome to watch the ensuing excitement.

There so much more going on, so click here for a full list of events and entertainment.

For those with a preference for fine food and wine there are great prizes to be won as part of a gala Hamper Giveaway. Valued at $400, the hamper contains everything you need for a great few days off, including handmade chocolates, freshly shucked oysters, sparkling wine – even a massage! You can enter in store, or click this link to ensure you don’t miss out.

The hamper is a celebration of everything on offer at the markets. The major prize will be drawn at midday, and you must be able to collect your swag by 4.00pm on Sunday.

With Canberra’s favourite performer, Special K (Ken Pattugulan), playing music in The Piazza from 1.00pm, it’s the perfect opportunity to pick up any other delicious offerings from the wide range of stores at Belconnen Fresh Food Markets.
