NEARLY 200 children braved the cold weather to hunt out chocolate eggs for Maldon Carnival's first ever Easter Egg Hunt.
The event took place at Promenade Park, Maldon, and children were asked to find hidden eggs in a maze, and solve the Easter puzzle using the treats collected.
If they managed to solve the riddle they were awarded an Easter egg donated by Asda or Morrisons.
Sarah Haylock, of the carnival committee said: "What a great success our first ever Easter Egg Hunt was. Thanks to everyone."
The carnival members decided to revive the event on Easter Sunday, previously organised by Maldon District Council, after it had lapsed over the previous two years.
