There will be a special Easter event for children at the Old Pottery Kiln in Witham, to help raise money for Havens Hospices.

The Charity Easter Egg Hunt, on Saturday, March 31, will take place from 1pm to 4pm, with entry costing just £2 per child.

Activities at the event will include face painting, name the bunny, tombola and arts and crafts, with candy floss and more available.

If having a meal at the venue, children can eat for just £1 when their meal is ordered along with an adult one.

Laura Hurn and Sarah McDean are running the London Marathon later this year, raising money for Havens Hospices – so money raised from this Easter event at the pub restaurant off Gershwin Boulevard will go towards the fundraising total for the pair.
