Everything you need to know about Yorkshire’s biggest Easter egg hunt

An award-winning hotel and restaurant group will be hosting the event.

Provenance Inns and Hotels will be hiding chocolate eggs across the county this month in the lead-up to Easter.

The event is thought to bring ‘Yorkshire’s biggest Easter egg hunt’, spanning across Harogate, Moulton, Helperby and other Yorkshire hotspots.

Lucky hunters who seek out the eggs will be able to enjoy a free drink at any Provenance site and there will be a host of Easter-themed dishes on the menu for those looking for a little more than a chocolate egg to satisfy their hunger.

Raising money for the Red Cross, Yorkshire’s biggest Easter egg hunt is set to take place across the bank holiday weekend, beginning on Good Friday (Friday 15 April) and running until Easter Sunday (Sunday 17 April).

The idea is that clues will be dropped across Provenance Inns social media pages and those successful in finding the eggs can then redeem a free drink from the bar.

Dozens of branded chocolate eggs will be hidden in and around the towns and communities surrounding each venue, with hints and tips posted across the groups Facebook and Instagram pages. 

Helperby’s The Oak Inn, The West Park in Harrogate, Marton-Cum-Grafton’s The Punch Bowl, and Moulton’s Black Bull are all joining in and putting on a spread worth of a Publican Award 2022.

Fresh from beating off stiff competition from across the UK and winning best food offering at the national Publican awards, Provenance Inns and Hotels will be serving a springtime menu with med potato, spinach, and lamb sauce.

The deliciously rich Sage and Harrogate Blue Cheese Gnocchi arrives with Tenderstem Broccoli and toasted almonds, whilst the aromatic Crispy Thai Vegetable Parcel is accompanied with Asian greens and a sweet potato Massaman curry. 

The bestselling Panko Crumbed Chicken with Garlic has now been renamed the Chicken Kyiv, and £1 from each one sold in April will go towards the Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal. This incredible charity has been working tirelessly to raise funds which will help those affected gain access to food, water, first aid, medicine, warm clothes, and shelter. 

Anyone lucky enough to locate one of the chocolatey treats can also enjoy a free drink at their local Provenance bar. This can be a soft drink, or a pint of beer or a gin and tonic for those over 18. With al fresco dining available across almost all Provenance pubs and restaurants, it’s the perfect destination for some family time over the Easter holidays. 

Tom Patrick, Head of Marketing of the Provenance Group said:

‘’We can’t wait to welcome in the spring/summer season this year and want to make Easter that little bit more special in 2022. Many of us haven’t had enough time with loved ones over the past two years, and our family-friendly venues offer the perfect setting for memorable get-togethers.’’

‘’Our Easter egg hunt is going to be quite epic, with not one but seven of Yorkshire’s finest pubs taking part. Our chefs have also been busy crafting our new a la carte menu, which features a feast of premium meat, seafood, and locally sourced produce.’’

‘’And, with everything going on in Ukraine right now, we simply had to do our bit. The work the Red Cross does is nothing short of amazing, with every penny donated going to help the millions affected by the tragic events which have recently unfolded. Let’s try and raise as much money as possible for this worthy cause.’’
