Church Easter Egg Hunt

for 1 hour, 30 mins
Monks Eleigh, St Peter
Church Hill Monks Eleigh Ipwich, IP7 7LG, United Kingdom

Easter Eggs represent new life and rebirth. In Medieval times eating eggs was forbidden during Lent so on Easter Sunday, tucking into an egg was a real treat. This has developed to our custom of eating Chocolate Easter Eggs on Easter Sunday.

Ever mindful that some parents choose not to give their children a lot of chocolate these days our Easter Egg Hunt will consist of children making their own Easter Egg from card and colouring pens and then having it hidden to be discovered.

There will be refreshments following this activity and some chocolate will be available to those who can have it.

All children and families are welcome other you attend Church regularly or not.

This event will take place at 3pm.

Monks Eleigh, St Peter

St Peters Church is situated in the rural village of Monks Eleigh in the Brett Valley. It is sited at the top of an upward sloping village green which is bordered by a collection of Grade ll listed residential meetings and a pub at the bottom of the hill.

A Church has existed on this site for 900 years although the present building dates back to the 14th century.
