Families looking to get outdoors and celebrate Easter 2010 in the fresh air, in a traditional and magical style, should look no further than any one of 250 National Trust properties across the UK. Building on the success of 2008 and 2009, Cadbury has joined forces again with the National Trust to host their national Easter Egg Trails, and the 2010 events will offer even more fun, activity and education for the whole family.
On the Island egg Hunters at Mottistone Manor Garden and the Needles Old Battery will follow a trail map around the property visiting trail points and collecting clues. Just like last year, the UK’s favourite confectionery company is giving parents special eco-packaged ‘Egghead’ Easter eggs to hand out to every child who completes the trail. Eggheads are specially made with minimum packaging, to save waste and help the environment.
All participants will also get to take part in the ‘Face on your Egg’ competition: the hunt for talented youngsters to help design the next generation of Eggheads. The winner could see their ‘face on an egg’ instore in 2010, as well as receiving an all expenses paid trip to Cadbury World. The 2009 winner’s design will appear instore from February 2010.
Cadbury’s support of the National Trust Easter Egg Trail is part of the company’s ‘Purple goes Green’ initiative, a programme to reduce its impact on the environment. In 2010 Cadbury has reduced the packaging of its Big Gesture Eggs by 35% on average and removed plastic from the range. By reducing its packaging, Cadbury is reducing the number of lorry loads needed to transport it whole Easter range Eggs by 2,298, reducing CO2 emissions by 460 tonnes.
Cadbury is also making a significant contribution to the National Trust Countryside Sites conservation programme as part of the Easter Egg Trail activity and its commitment to the environment.
