Eager children will swarm into Woodbridge's Elmshurst Park at 10.00am on Saturday 15 April. Once inside, they will fan out in search of hundreds of free chocolate Easter eggs carefully hidden there by Town Centre Coordinator Marion Wells (pictured, right) and a team of helpers.

Last year, at 10.00 am more than a hundred children were queuing at the gate in Elmhurst Walk, and by 10.30 all the eggs had been found. So parents need to get the kids there early.

Parents can be reassured that Marion will not be hiding eggs in dangerous places, such as up trees. She explains: "This is because my tomboy days are over".

This annual event is being sponsored by the local Boots store and Woodbridge's specialist chocolate shop, Les Chocolats Belges.
