CHOCOLATE lovers can get involved as a housebuilding company host an Easter egg hunt.

Redrow is hosting its very own hunt, to win hundreds of pounds worth of chocolate.

Those taking part must find the hidden ‘red egg’ inside one of the show homes or show home gardens at The Mulberries, 750 homes in Witham, or the 350-home development ‘Meadow View’ in Silver End, to be in with a chance of winning £200 worth of luxury chocolate.

Everyone who successfully locates the red egg will win an Easter egg on the day.

For those who snap a “shell-fie” with it, and upload it to social media with the hashtag #TheBigRedEggHunt and development name, will be entered into a prize draw to win a £200 voucher from luxury chocolatiers Hotel Chocolat.

Sales Director at Redrow Eastern said: “We’re delighted to be hosting our Big Red Egg hunt at The Mulberries and Meadow View, providing entertainment for local families come rain or shine.

“Children can enjoy a truly memorable Easter egg hunt, while parents will have the opportunity to take design inspiration from the stylish interiors of our show homes.

“We wish all those planning on taking part the best of luck.”

The event is from April 15-18.
