A host of activities are planned across the East End marking the Easter holidays, commencing with Good Friday’s Walk to Calvary.

The festivities in St George’s and St David’s are banded together in collaboration with the Bermuda Tourism Authority.

The dramatic re-enactment of the first Good Friday has been a fixture for more than 30 years, according to the East End Ministerial Alliance, and sets out from Ebenezer Methodist Church, where guests should arrive by 10.45am.

The pageant, running till 12.30pm, includes several recreations along the way, closing with the crucifixion at Ordnance Island. At Clearwater Beach, Gombeys will be out in force from early in the day until at least 8pm.

Meanwhile, from 11am, one of the island’s premier Good Friday celebrations is set for St David’s Cricket Club: the Gilbert Lamb Fun Day, with music, kites, games, and the Mohawk grande prix go-kart race along with ranging bike races.

St George’s Cricket Club hosts the 5km Walk Around the Towne from 9am to 10am — a popular, family-friendly fundraiser charging $15 for adults and $5 for walkers aged 17 and younger. The club also hosts a family fun day from 2pm to 6pm, with more kite-flying, music and games.

Tobacco Bay’s bar and café will remain open from 10am to 5pm Good Friday, including traditional Bermudian fish cakes served for lunch.

And on Saturday, the Progressive Labour Party and Senator Renee Ming host a community Easter egg hunt.

The hunt is on at Somers Garden from 2pm to 5pm, and will include baked goods and food, races and games.

For Easter Sunday, the East End Ministerial Alliance hosts a sunrise service at Ordnance Island from 6.30am to 7.30am.

Special services will be held at the Chapel of Ease and Stella Maris from 9am, and Ebenezer Methodists Church and Their Majesties Chappell at St Peter’s Church at 11am. Richard Allen AME Church will hold services at 8am and 11am, with a 9.30am church school on offer.
