The Easter Bunny will be hopping around High Street handing out treats to advertise a Loughborough University student’s fundraiser next Saturday (March 19).

Laura Clode (pictured below) is hosting an Easter craft fair in Sidmouth Methodist Church from 10am to 4pm, with local goods including pottery, textiles, photography and jewellery.

She is supporting the Meningitis Research Foundation and is well on the way to her £3,000 target for her trek up Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, this September.

Entry will be free and there will be an Easter craft area for young and old. There will be refreshments on offer including homemade soup and cakes.
