Easter at the Amphitheatre

Easter arrived early in Melton, with an afternoon of face painting, Easter egg hunting, and plenty more kids activities at the Melton Amphitheatre on Thursday, April 6. Kids got to enjoy the action from 2.30pm, with plenty arriving after school for the fun, just in time from a visit from the Easter Bunny.
