A six-year-old boy came out victorious as a care home opening soon held an Easter hunt.

The team at Elgar Court Care Home hid 12 Easter bunnies around the Barnards Green area for local children to find.

Hidden in all kinds of locations, including shop and services, children were invited to find all of the rabbits and write down where they had found them.

In the end, the lucky winner was six-year-old Malvern resident, Elliott Hirst.

Elliott was over the moon to have won the chocolate prize but asked if he was going to save it, he said: “Why wait?!”

Naomi Steward, Elgar Court Care Home’s home services advisor, said: “We had such fun hiding all the bunnies.

“As we can see from the infectious grin on Elliott’s face, he couldn’t believe the chocolate bunny prize was so huge!

“Local shops and services in Barnards Green were so kind letting us hide them in their shop notice boards and windows, and we would like to say a big thank you to them. 

“Everyone can get involved in our future events and competitions running throughout the year by following Elgar Court on Facebook”.
