This Easter Weekend follow the clues to discover the name of OUR Easter Bunny:

“Our Easter event is set to run
EVERYDAY Easter weekend - oh what fun!
Words are hidden in the gully for you
Making a sentence that forms a clue…..
Then find bunny’s name, so you don’t have to beg
Tell Bev that name in exchange for an egg”

Daily Friday - Monday 10 - 2
