The event will see 36 wooden bunnies hidden around the village between Saturday 23rd March and Saturday 6th April. Participants are tasked with finding all of the bunnies, filling out a form and handing it in. Those who complete the hunt will receive sweet and will go into a prize draw to win a hamper.
