If you are a local independent artisan or sustainable business wanting to participate in the Acton Makers Market, email Design LED at designersandmakersmarket@gmail.com.
Before then the Easter Bunny Trail returns for the fourth year in a row. 25 wooden bunnies will be around town inside local businesses throughout retail areas. This year, there will also be five giant eggs in the Town Centre for extra points.
To take part collect your map at some of the local coffee shops participating in the trail and search the High Street, Gunnersbury Lane, Churchfield Road, Market Place and The Vale for other businesses displaying the Easter Trail poster, and head inside to find out the name of the bunny that lives there. Write down the bunny’s name in the boxes given. If you have spotted any Giant eggs, write down the amount you located in its dedicated location zone. Then fill out your contact details and hand the form to the collection point in the café at the ActOne Cinema for a chance to win.
Find 10 bunnies to win a chocolate (while stocks last, so be quick), and find all 25 bunnies to be entered into a draw to win an Easter hamper. You can play from 4 April until 22 April. The winners of the draw will be announced on the week of 24 April.
For an extra entry into the hamper draw, snap a photo of you doing the trail and post it to social media, tagging @YourActonBID and #ActonBunnyTrail.
Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT.
