Once the list is completed\, the hunt is finished. \nTo keep things organised and enjoyable\, staggered start times are in place. Children set off in small groups of five every three minutes to avoid overcrowding. \nOnce the hunt is complete\, children can exchange their completed licence at the “Easter Bank” in return for a chocolate reward. \n\nMonday 6 April 2026 \nFrom 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM\, enjoy a street performance titled “Say It with Flowers”\, presented by Cie Les Enjoliveurs.
