Starting on Wednesday 12 April, families across Rutland have been invited to join the Lions Club of Rutland Virtual Easter Egg Hunt, keeping the kids - big and small - entertained throughout the holidays.

Back after four years, The Lions Club of Rutland Virtual Easter Egg Hunt will see residents tracking down virtual Easter Eggs, and winning real chocolate eggs, in this free community event.

Based out of Oakham Library on Wednesday 12, Thursday 13 and Friday 14 of April between 10am and 3pm, the event encourages families to get out and about, solving problems and working together.

The theme this year is Numbers and Maths. 

To fully enjoy, you will need a smart phone with WhatsApp enabled.

The Hunt is ideally for children accompanied by parents or grandparents and is based around Oakham's Heritage Trail.

The below image is one of the 20 Virtual eggs you are looking for around the trail, each one with a question you have to answer and report back via WhatsApp to win real Easter eggs:
