The Easter Bunny will be hopping around Te Puke from 3-5.30pm this Wednesday, March 31, for the New World Te Puke Easter Egg Trail.

'The Easter Bunny was unable to visit our trail last year due to Covid,” says Epic Te Puke marketing manager Rebecca Larsen, 'and we are excited that we can go ahead with the event this year”.

More than 30 local businesses and groups are making the fun trail possible, alongside major sponsor New World Te Puke.

The Easter Egg Trail starts at the library, and includes Jellicoe Street, Jocelyn Street, Oxford Street, Palmer Place and Heritage Walkway through to the supermarket. Anyone doing the trail can count up how many eggs they see and tell the Easter Bunny at the end.

'Children need to have a parent with them and be safe while crossing roads, as the roads won't be closed,” says Rebecca.

'We also will have bunnies coming in from Bunnyton, and pony and donkey rides from Ponies Plus. Children and their parents can follow the Easter Egg Trail to meet the Easter Bunny.”
