I REALLY enjoy this time of year when I get to go along to Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens to help staff there prepare for the giant Easter egg hunt.

A total of 8,000 creme eggs were being delivered when I arrived, which will be won by anyone who finds a hidden token during the hunt.

The event runs from 10am to 6pm Good Friday March 29 until Easter Monday April 1.

There is also a chance to win a giant chocolate Easter egg and a fluffy Easter bunny (one each day), plus a children’s entertainer, bouncy castle and face painting to add to the fun.

See you there!

Happy birthday to: Joel Davies, 11 on March 25, Layla Steirn, three on March 25, Hollie Long, 11 on March 26, Joseph Steward, seven on March 26, Harry Harris, eight on March 27, Naomi Harris, eight on March 27, Alice Roberts, 13 on March 28, Abigail Barnes, 10 on March 28, Jaden Taylor, seven on March 28, Dominic Smithers, three on March 28, Emily Ford, 12 on March 29.
