MALDON Carnival is launching its Easter trail challenge in Maldon High Street.

Children in the town have been tasked with finding hidden Easter Bunny letters in the High Street as the carnival's annual trail launched yesterday.

There are 29 letters to find in the shop windows  and youngsters who find them all will discover the Easter Bunny's greeting.

Entry forms, which cost £1, are available from The Emporium and Willow & Fox.

All money donated goes towards Maldon Carnival 2022.

The charity announced its traditional event is returning on August 6 after it had been awarded £5,750 in funding from The National Lottery Community Fund.

The procession is returning after a three-year gap due to a lack of volunteers in 2019 and Covid restrictions in 2020 and 2021.

This year's theme will be the Queen's Platinum Jubilee.

Maldon Carnival first started in 1895.
