An unprecedented demand this year has, after only a few weeks, seen all the vouchers for entry into the popular Lowestoft Lions Easter Egg Trail being handed out.

The rapid uptake has meant that all 550 entry vouchers have gone and the trail is now closed.

But with children's entertainment and stalls on offer everyone is still invited to come along to Sparrow's Nest Gardens, Lowestoft on Easter Sunday April 16 from 10.30am and enjoy the free event.

Children's entertainers K-Syl-R will offer games, music, dancing and prizes.

DJ Russell Clarke on Facebook posted: 'It was also great to see so many Easter bonnets last year – so we are asking everyone to start making their decorative headwear now and they could win a prize.'

Due to the popularity of the Easter Egg Trail previous booking arrangements had become unmanageable so the Lions introduced a new voucher system for the 2017 event.
