From now until Monday, 21 April, Hampton Court Palace is hosting the Lindt GOLD BUNNY hunt.

Those taking part in the hunt will be able to explore the palace's gardens in search of the Lindt GOLD BUNNY statues peeking out from the daffodils.

As families embark on this trail throughout the palace grounds, they will also discover the "remarkable" individuals who left their mark on Henry VIII's home.

Once they've found all the statues, visitors will be rewarded with a 10g Lindt GOLD BUNNY treat. 

Non-chocolate alternatives will be available on request.

Hampton Court Palace asks that guests allow 90 minutes to complete the trail. 

The hunt is designed for children aged three - 12 years old and their families.

To take part in the hunt, you must book a ticket to visit the palace, which costs between £14 and £30.90, depending on ages and chosen dates, but members can get in for free.
