CHILDREN are being invited to take part in a ‘chocolaty live-action adventure’ at York’s Chocolate Story and Merchant Adventurers’ Hall this Easter.

A Chocolate Story spokeswoman said that as part of York’s Family Easter Festival, youngsters will ‘join Egbert on a quest to find his lost Easter eggs and defeat Sheldon the wicked stoat who is on a mission to steal Easter!’

She said: “Unique characters will bring the story to life through fun, games and of course plenty of chocolate.” She added that the adventure will start at York’s Chocolate Story daily and make its way to the Hall in Piccadilly for the main activities.
