SHOPS in Kidderminster are joining together to put on a cracking Easter trail for children in the community.

The trail, which starts on Saturday, April 8, and runs until Saturday, April 15, involves the children visiting six different stores in the town to find a picture of an Easter chick and taking a note of their name.

When they have collected all six names they will hand in their completed forms for a chance to win a basket of Easter treats.

The stores involved are Boots, Greggs and Marks and Spencer from Weavers Wharf, Wilko in Market Street, Bonmarche from the Rowland Hill Centre and Tigers Eye from the Swan Centre.

Entry forms will be available from all the participating stores.

This is the town’s first event jointly hosted by stores who are part of the Business in the Community project.

If it proves successful they aim to do something similar for Halloween but involve more retailers.
