The event was organised by students studying Health and Social Care Level 3 who had been set an assignment to carry out a voluntary project in the community, which will be marked towards their final grade.
The primary school children created Easter baskets in which to put any eggs they had discovered on the hunt. The eggs were donated by local supermarkets and other materials for making the baskets were provided by the Thatcham Garden Centre.
Newbury College Health and Social Care student Elisha Lees-Smith, aged 24, said "It went absolutely brilliantly and everything went according to plan. This project is all about giving back to the community and we are really happy with all of the help, support, goodwill that the supermarkets have shown us".
The children thanked all of the College students for arranging the events by giving them Easter eggs of their own.
