Big PADS Hop
Friday 3rd April | 10.30am-3pm
Join us at Bennetts Willow Barn this Easter Friday for a relaxed family day in a beautiful farm setting. Families can spend time together, meet the farm animals, decorate eggs, and take part in a fun, child-friendly Easter egg hunt.
Our Easter family day is all about connection, community, and enjoying time together at your own pace. Families can meet the farm animals, decorate eggs, and take part in a fun, child-friendly Easter egg hunt, with plenty of space to explore, play, or simply relax.
This is a SEND-friendly, inclusive event where children and adults are free to join in as much or as little as they like. Whether you come for the activities, to meet other families, or just to enjoy being in a supportive space, you’ll be very welcome.

Who is this event for?
This event is especially suited to families of children with Down syndrome who are looking for:
- A relaxed, in-person family event
- Opportunities to meet other parents face to face
- A welcoming, and inclusive environment
Families attending will be at different stages and ages, and there is no expectation to take part in everything. Children remain the responsibility of their parent or carer at all times.
Why we run community events like this
At Down Syndrome UK, we know how powerful it can be for families to connect in person with others who understand their experiences. Our community events are designed to bring families together, reduce isolation, and create moments of joy and belonging.
Where possible, events also help raise funds to support our wider work for people with Down syndrome and their families across the UK.
