Discover what happened at Easter and why we still celebrate it today.

Physical Trail, 10am - 4pm daily
Until Easter Monday (1st April) around Ladbroke

Pick up a leaflet in the church porch (or download below) and follow the instructions.
Each location has a display and more info about a part of the Easter story. 
Suitable for all the family. Small Easter gift for those that visit each point.

Virtual Trail
Can't get to the physical trail?  You can "walk" it on-line wherever you at any time of day.

Photos of each display are below (click the first to see it larger and the caption and use the right arrow for the next one)

  • Ladbroke Easter Trail 2024
  • Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, greeted by crowds waving palm branches
  • Jesus was angry that the temple was like "a den of robbers" with people exchanging money and selling animals for sacrifices
  • Jesus washed the feet of his friends, to teach us to love and serve each other
  • At the last supper with his friends, Jesus told them to remember him each time they ate bread and drank wine
  • Jesus prayed in an olive grove, called the Garden of Gethsemane, then soldiers came and arrested him
  • After Jesus' arrest Peter told people he did not know Jesus, after the 3rd time a cockerel crowed and he remebered Jesus had said this would happen
  • Jeus was mocked, given a crown of thorns to wear and executed on a cross
  • When Mary went to Jesus' tomb 3 days later, the stone had been rolled back from the entrance. Then to her surprise Jesus appeared - he was alive!
  • GOD WITH US TODAY Many people follow jesus and know God's love in their lives today. Psalm 23 compares God to a shepherd, with us through difficult times and giving us many good things in our lives.

Use the downloads below for:

  • Trail leaflet with the map, a summary of each point the story and a simple activity or question, which is entirely optional.
  • Words from Scripture with more detail about what the bible says about each point depicted (these words are displayed at each location so no need to download if you are physically walking the trail).

At the last point on trail, GOD WITH US TODAY, you are invited to respond to the display about Psalm 23 in church.  At home you may like to

-  light a candle and ask Jesus, the Light of the World, to help you or someone you know who is going through difficult times

-  write or draw a thank you note to God for good things in your life

- make a sheep, or get the kids to make several, and to remember that God is like a good shepherd bringing his flock to good pasture and safe water (see final download for sheep making ideas)
