Children are getting egg-cited for the fourth annual Malmsbury Easter egg hunt.
More than 100 children are expected to gather at the Malmsbury Botanical Gardens on Good Friday to search for scrumptious chocolates scattered throughout the garden.
The event is run by local resident Tiffany Speight and her husband, who also organise the Malmsbury Christmas carols.
Ms Speight said ticket sales from the egg hunt go towards helping a local organisation.
This year, it’s Macedon Ranges Live4Life.
“We are interested in youth mental health and the prevention of suicides,” Ms Speight said.
Face-painting, music workshops, and colouring-in competitions will be among the fun at the Easter egg hunt, with the appearance of the Easter bunny ready to greet children.
Ms Speight said the yummy chocolates will be donated by the Malmsbury Woolworths.
The Easter egg hunt will be on April 19 from 10am. For tickets: bit.ly/2O01Dwq
