The annual FREE Easter Egg Hunt in Woodbridge's delightful Elmhurst Park will be held on Easter Saturday 11 April. Activities start from 10am and the Egg Hunt starts promptly at 10.30am (open to children age 12 and under).
The organisers advise people to arrive early; by 10.31am, the park will be full of children searching for the hidden beans which can be swapped for chocolate.
‘Pound the Hound’ from Ipswich Building Society will be on hand to help sniff out the more elusive beans.
This year's event will feature a special visit from Harry Potter's friend, Hagrid.
There’s plenty to do with a Punch & Judy Show and a colouring competition, whilst Woodbridge in Bloom will show you how to grow the biggest and best sunflowers.
There are hundreds of free goody bags to take away with vouchers from local shops.
Not only is this event FREE, there’s also FREE car parking from 8am to 6.30pm at the Suffolk Coastal District Council offices on Melton Hill.
The event will finish around 12 noon.
In the run-up to Easter, shops along Woodbridge Thoroughfare are holding a ‘Spot the Stranger’ competition.
This runs from 4th – 11th April and the winner will be announced at the Easter Egg Hunt at Elmhurst Park on Saturday 11th April.
Free entry forms are available from Woodbridge Library and Jars of Clay (Woodbridge Thoroughfare) from 4th April. This is one of a number of events taking place to mark the centenary of 1st Woodbridge Scout Group.
