At least 150 Fairtrade eggs were won by children hunting for Deben River egg pictures and the wonderful birds they belong to around the Woodbridge Historic Riverside.

Fairtrade for Woodbridge are very happy the Easter Egg Hunt prizes at the Tide Mill were Fairtrade Easter eggs. Making sure producers receive a fair deal for their chocolate.

Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum, The Longshed and Woodbridge Museum cooperated once again to host the event, the third Easter Egg Hunt run by them as part of Woodbridge Historic Riverside.

Previous Easter Egg Hunts have attracted large numbers of egg-hunters, mainly local families, in search of clues and, ultimately, chocolate. Maybe the recent release of the BAFTA-nominated British film Wonka helped make it a success.

A huge thank you to Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum, The Longshed Woodbridge Museum and Woodbridge Town Council for sponsoring this fantastic event. 

Thanks go to Tassa Deparis, the Woodbridge Historic Riverside event organiser, and Councillor Sue Bale who championed the use of Fairtrade eggs. 

Tass Deparis commented “It was lovely to see returning families from last year’s egg hunt, and lots of brand new faces too! It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect with locals and visitors, many who were first time visitors to the historic riverside. It was a very busy day and lots of fun!"
