Children 'in tears' as families turn up to 'fake' Easter egg hunt in park

Families were left confused and disappointed after turning up to a 'free' Easter egg hunt in a park - where no chocolate treats appeared to have been hidden at all. The event was listed online and invited people to take their children on a hunt for 'more than 100 mini Easter eggs with sweets inside'.

Kylie Sharples was among those who attended. Posting on Facebook afterwards, she wrote: "Anybody know what happened to this? Took the kids today and not one in sight. Lots of kids brought Easter baskets to collect them in. Nobody could find any or anyone who knew anything about it?"

The event had been advertised as a five-hour egg hunt starting at midday in Worden Park, Leyland, Lancashire, LancsLive reports. The event description stated: "This is completely free to do and is great fun."
