Children are eagerly awaiting the third annual Easter egg hunt in Malmsbury Botanical Gardens.
More than 180 children are expected to gather in the gardens on Good Friday to search for the colourful chocolates, and enjoy the face-painting, pass the parcel and craft activities on offer.
The event is run by local couple Tiffany Speight and David Harrod, who also organise Malmsbury’s Christmas carols.
Ms Speight said the pair began the two festive events three years ago to create something positive in the town following negative news surrounding Malmsbury Youth Justice Centre.
This year they are working with Malmsbury Cricket Club to help fundraise for the club, which is in need of female changerooms.
Last year’s Easter egg hunt, which was attended by more than 250 children, raised funds for Malmsbury CFA.
Ms Speight said most of the eggs for this year’s hunt had been donated by local businesses, including Malmsbury General Store and Malmsbury Woolworths. To book tickets to the event visit: bit.ly/2FDPmgc
