The twilight market had a range of kids’ activities available, including an Easter egg hunt and a jumping castle. For older visitors, there was a beer garden and the chance to pick up last-minute Easter gifts.

There were more than 35 stalls at the Rochester Racecourse Recreation Reserve (4Rs), with each one showcasing different homemade or homegrown goods to sell.
