Families in North Lincolnshire are being invited to join in some egg-citing Easter fun this spring with a brand-new Easter Bunny Trail around Scunthorpe town centre.

Ten larger-than-life, five-foot Easter bunnies have been decorated by local schools and community groups, each designed with its own unique and creative twist.

From 28 March to 28 April, families can follow the trail, spot the bunnies, and unscramble a secret word for a chance to win a toy hamper kindly donated by The Entertainer toy shop in The Foundry.

Families can pick up a free Easter Bunny Trail map from Scunthorpe Central library or download it online.

Along the trail, children will find letters to unscramble a hidden word – anyone who solves the puzzle can enter a prize draw to win the toy hamper.

There’s also a chance to vote for your favourite bunny. The school or community group with the most votes will win craft materials as a prize, and each group will get to keep their bunny afterwards.

The Easter Bunny Trail is being funded by the High Street Accelerator Fund and runs from 28 March to 28 April.
