Hopwood Park Easter Egg Hunt
Date published: 30 March 2018
Hundreds of children eagerly searched Hopwood Park on Friday afternoon (30 March) for a traditional Easter egg hunt.
The Friends of Hopwood Park, the Easter Bunny and two very special helpers hid a whopping 750 chocolate bunnies around the park, with an additional 19 star prize Easter eggs to be won for those who discovered a specially marked one.
Two egg hunts took place around the grounds of the park: the under-fives had their own hunt around the bowling green, whilst the under-11s had free reign of the whole of Hopwood Park.
17 children took part in the Easter bonnet contest, with four prizes given to the most creative designs, including a helter-skelter, a Despicable Me minion, a colourful affair, and a red top hot. A raffle was also drawn.
Refreshments were on offer from the Hopwood Cabin, including a free ice cream for all bonnet contestants.
The Easter Bunny handed out small chocolate eggs and bunnies to all those who didn’t find a prize, so no child went home empty-handed.
