Party in the park

By Maria Gregoriou

Spring and Easter are truly in the air. The smell of flowers coming into bloom and of some chocolate eggs are being blown in on the wind (from a near-by field or a shop near you), and with it a whole lot of things for you to do with the kids.

On Sunday let that wind of change take you to Acropolis Park in Strovolos where the City Markets will offer lots to see and do.

There will be a market fair, arts and crafts, second hand stores, a clown (12pm until 2pm) getting the kids to laugh, face painting (11am until 1pm) to get them looking like a super hero, or an Easter egg if they so wish, and a bouncy castle (all day) for them to jump around in and use up some of that energy.

So make sure the kids have clean faces as they will be used as canvas, you have an extra pair of socks for them to wear after all that bouncing around, and you enjoy your Sunday out and about.

Easter City Markets
A day out at the park with face painting, bouncy castle and lots more. April 5. Acropois Park, Strovolos, Nicosia. 10am-6pm. Tel: 96-259855

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
