The Easter Bunny’s Party was produced by ACL Collective, a Community Interest Company made up of three directors Aaron Spendelow, Charlotte Read,  and Lauren Connolly. As a collective of individual artists they created this CIC together to enable them to produce their own events for families and children.  

The Easter Bunny’s Party was a free, accessible children’s event in Kempston, Bedfordshire, aimed at babies and toddlers aged 0-5 featuring arts, crafts, puppetry, soft play, and storytelling, culminating in a party with the Easter Bunny themselves.  Performing 4 times across 2 days, the aim of the project was to celebrate Easter during the half term holidays, and engage with new families and bring them to locations they may not typically frequent in their local area.

Supported by Bedford Giving, this sold out event provided fun, inclusive activities for young families over Easter half term, highlighting ACL Collective’s commitment and dedication to work in community arts.
