Easter Bonnet Competition

10th Apr 2026 - 10th Apr 2026

Creative Maidstone

Get involved in Creative Maidstone's Easter Bonnet competition! Design your own blooming marvellous headwear, whether you choose to go fully floral or decorate it with Easter eggs, chicks or bunnies, the choice is yours. The competition is open to children up to the age of 16 years. Parents can help little fingers with the construction but we ask that the designs are entirely the work of the young person. Simply design and make your Easter bonnet and bring it along to Creative Maidstone on Friday 10th April at 11am to take part in our Parade, when the judging will also take place. Alternatively, join our Easter Bonnet workshop at 10am on the day and create your bonnet just in time for the parade. The overall winner will receive 4 free tickets to Kent Life (each ticket is valid for one person). These have been generously donated by Kent Life to help celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Maidstone River Park this year.

"I am writing just to express my gratitude to the one Maidstone team as since I have had the security radio installed into my store myself and my team feel so much safer during our opening times and they have responded to my calls of need and supported us dealing with challenging situations and retrieving stolen stock."

"We are very thankful for the support we received from the Ambassador Tema from shoplifting to ASB issues, they are always a stones throw away and will always deal with the situation in hand with so much professionalism. It’s clear to see how dedicated and passionate they are about there job roles within One Maidstone. The town would not be the same without them."

"Not only do they support promoting local businesses but they also provide great training and our Marketing team have personally been enriched by the social media training. In addition to this we cannot say how helpful their quarterly Marketing meetings have been in sharing information with our marketing community and supporting us to grow stronger links with other businesses so we all flourish."
