Categories as follows: Children under 5; children 6 - 12; adult men; adult women; pets.
This year (2022) we will also hold a cake sale, and repeat last year’s new event - the Easter Bunny village trail and children’s word quiz. Quiz sheets are available for £1 from our sales stall on the day, in the market place. The trail can be done anytime from 10am until the end of activities around 2pm. All correct quiz sheets handed in will be exchanged for a chocolate easter egg. Ask at the Old Post Office window by the bridge, if you are late to collect your chocolate egg. (After the event is packed up, any remaining will be here for the rest of the day.)

The last collection will be at 18.00 on 13 December, so please get letters in as soon as possible!

Please dress up, enjoy walking around, searching for our decorated windows and hunting letters but remember to keep to Government guidelines and keep yourselves and Nunney residents safe.
Enjoy your trail hunt!
