An Easter egg hunt will be held at Battersea Park Children’s Zoo this weekend, with special prizes for those who complete the mystery trail.

The eggs, which have been painted in bright patterns, will be guarded by animals in six secret locations all over the zoo.

Along the way, children can visit these fluffy Easter bunnies - which, due to their long ears and legs, are known as Belgian Hares.

Fiona Vella, events organiser, said: “We get a lot of kids coming to do it. They have the fun of looking for the eggs as well as seeing all the animals.

“They love using their detective skills to work out which animals are guarding the eggs. Spring is in the air, so come along for great family outdoor fun.”

The hunt takes place from Friday to Monday, with a quiz sheet available for £1.50.
