Aston Marina’s annual Easter Egg hunt welcomes families from across the Midlands to hunt for clues around its extensive grounds and earn themselves an easter egg – all in the name of charity.
This year, the nominated charity was Stafford-based A Child of Mine, which supports bereaved parents and, alongside the Easter Egg Hunt, visitors could opt to take a fun boat ride around the marina. Taking place over Easter Sunday and Monday, the event enjoyed great weather and attracted bumper numbers – raising an impressive £900 for the cause.
A Child of Mine founder and CEO, Gayle Routledge, who launched the charity following the tragic death of her son Lewis with the aim of supporting other parents dealing with the unimaginable loss of a baby or child, said:
“Oh, wow that is amazing! What a fantastic amount raised, we are delighted and extremely grateful to you for arranging such a successful event.”
Aston Marina director, Helen Clayton, says:
“We are delighted to have been able to support A Child of Mine in its incredible work. The loss of a child is any parent’s worst nightmare, so to have organisations offering support and guidance when families’ worlds are shattered is vital.”
In addition to hosting its annual Easter Egg Hunt, Aston Marina has an award-winning bar and restaurant, No.26, with waterside dome dining and intimate venue hire options alongside its stunning exclusive-use wedding and events venue, The Boat House – visit www.astonmarina.co.uk
