The free family event involved participants finding chickens hidden around the village.

The chickens were pictures drawn by children from Denmead Junior School. Participants will need to find all 20 chickens to win an Easter treat. The event also coincides with the BBC Get Creative Weekend and children could take part in a free craft activity decorating a paper maché egg.
