Morningside community restaurant and bar, McLaren’s on the Corner, is staging a line-up of family-friendly events on Easter Sunday (20 April).

McLarens is hosting an Easter-egg hunt on Bruntsfield Links from 10am and a pop-up petting zoo outside its venue on Holy Corner between 10am and 2pm. Both are free.

Families will get the chance to meet mini-lop Easter bunnies, Mika and Marshmallow; silkie chicks; Fudge, Smudge, Parker and Peanut the alpacas; Pepper the barn owl; and Speedi the tortoise. There will be opportunities to pat and feed the animals, as well as to take photos.

Hannah McConnachie from McLarens on the Corner commented: “We want to give back and put on something extra special for the people and families in our local neighbourhood this Easter Sunday.

“We’re offering a great day out for people to enjoy on their own doorstep, without having to stretch their budget or travel into the city centre or further afield.”

Party Animalz Scotland’s Stewart Beck, who is bringing the animals to the event, said:“Our team of experts is committed to providing an enjoyable, informative and memorable animal experience – these cater for individuals of all ages and backgrounds, fostering family connections and creating lasting memories.”

McLarens is also raising money for a good cause. Cash collected at the event is being donated to Home Start, a charity which supports families with young children, especially those facing challenges or needing extra support.

A Sunday roast will be served from 12pm and diners can also choose from a main menu featuring haggis bonbons with Irn-Bru chilli jam; burgers; mac and cheese; and loaded fries.

Dog-friendly McLarens on the Corner is situated at Holy Corner, where it runs a varied programme of regular entertainment all year round, including live music, wine dinners and a quiz night, as well as other special events.
