SOLAS Easter weekend family fun
As Easter approaches, SOLAS Eco Garden Centre in Portarlington, is gearing up to celebrate this joyous occasion with a variety of fun-filled events that will cater for the entire family. Our events team has put together an exciting Easter weekend program featuring an array of activities that are sure to captivate all age groups.
Whether you’re looking for traditional Easter egg hunts, fun games, or delicious food, our Easter weekend festivities have something for everyone.
From Good Friday to Easter Monday, we’re pulling out all the stops to ensure an Easter celebration you won’t soon forget.
Co-Owner John Carey joined us for an update on events so far this year : “We have recently accomplished a number of successful events that have been enjoyed by many people. Our garden course offered practical tips and knowledge for gardening enthusiasts, while our wildflower talk was an insightful exploration of local flora.
“Painting courses were also held which provided a fun and creative outlet for all ages. Meanwhile, community events brought together people from different backgrounds and interests, fostering a sense of togetherness and community spirit.
“All in all, Solas has been thriving in its efforts to offer enriching and engaging activities that appeal to a wide range of individuals.”
