DESPITE freezing temperatures, hundreds of hardy Easter Egg hunters visited The Vyne over the bank holiday weekend.

The grounds of the historic Sherborne St John house were the setting for an annual Cadbury Easter Egg Trail on Easter Sunday and Monday, April 1.

Children and their parents followed a trail of clues around the beautiful gardens, which led them to their chocolate prizes Helen Knight, from Bramley, was at the event with her husband, Craig and their two children Lily, six and Rose, four.

She said: “We’ve been coming for several years, even last year when it was raining.”
