DURING the half term holiday families are hunting for pumpkins to win a chocolate treat.
The Pumpkin Trail, suitable for pushchairs, is organised by local charity, First Days.
Pumpkin posters have been hidden around a country park.
Each one bears a joke and a letter, and once they are all found the letters reveal a secret message.
Returning to the café with this, families can claim a handmade chocolate treat, created by Wargrave-based, Rosie’s Chocolate Factory.
The event is raising funds for First Days, a Wokingham-based charity that works and campaigns to end child poverty.
The organisation equips youngsters with the essential items they need for their early years and at school.
The charity says that demand for its services and the number of people finding themselves in financial hardship is steadily rising.
All money raised by the pumpkin trail will support local children and their families who are living with a low income or are experiencing financial hardship.
The charity is grateful to Starfish Accounting, and Clifton Ingram, for sponsoring the handmade treats.
The event takes place in California Country Park on Nine Mile Road.
It continues until Sunday, October 30.
To take part in the hunt, families can purchase a map from the California Park’s Jackson’s Café..
