An ‘egg-cellent’ time at the Easter Eggstravaganza

The annual Bishop Auckland Town Team Easter Eggstravaganza took place on Saturday 20th April 2019.

This year there were 3 giant Thornton’s Chocolate egg’s up for grabs. New for this year was the ‘Best decorated egg’ competition where entries ranged from ‘The very hungry caterpillar to The Simpsons’

From the entries received the judges decided the winners were….

The annual ‘Easter Egg Hunt’ around the town centre also took place where there were 12 baskets of eggs in the windows of 12 shops around the town centre……

From all the correct entries received the winning card was drawn out the hat. This year’s winner of the giant chocolate egg was The Wall family from The Dell in Bishop Auckland. Pictured are Lewis and Andrew who had help from 2 year olds Ava & Maddison.

Loads of great prizes were won on the tombola, 5 tickets for £1 with all proceeds going to help put on more events in the town.

Members from the Bishop Auckland Golf Club brought along their inflatable driving range where people were invited to practice their swing shot and find out more about learning to play golf.

There was free face painting for the children and guest appearances from Bishop The Boar and the Easter bunny!

The Bishop Auckland Town Team would like to thank everyone who took part and wish everyone a Happy Easter.
