Humpty Dumpty Free Easter Egg Hunt

Don’t be late! The annual Merchant Square Egg Hunt will be returning on 5 April.

Humpty Dumpty

The Egg Soldiers bringing the experience to life! Help them find all the broken egg pieces, gather the King’s Men and put Humpty back together again. Queen Yolko Oh-No will oversee a delightfully dippy training school led by her troupes on all about how to be the best possible Egg Soldier.

With little helpers in tow, families will help to put the nearly eight-foot-high Humpty back together again and receive a royally delicious chocolate egg for their contribution.
