SOUTHEND Pier is holding its first Great Pier Easter Egg Hunt this Easter weekend.

The Easter Bunny has been hard at work hiding Easter posters on Southend Pier for children to come and find.

Once all 10 have been found, a reward can be claimed of a chocolate egg and certificate for taking part and completing the challenge. 

The Royal Pavilion will also be holding themed activities, a lucky dip, face painting and more. Plus the Easter Bunny himself will be popping by to meet and greet lucky visitors.

It will be held from Saturday April 15 to Monday 17 between 10am and 4pm.

Ann Holland, Executive Councillor for Culture, Tourism and the Economy said, “We are very much looking forward to hosting our first Easter egg hunt on the pier, it will be an enjoyable day for all ages.”

Tickets are £2 per child plus standard Pier entrance, ticket are available on the day.
