Chatsworth Estate donates 50,000 Easter egg to foodbanks
Although the annual hunts on the estate cannot go ahead this year, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the chocolate will still find a good home this Easter weekend.
The chocolate eggs for the hunt were delivered to the estate at the start of March, before the restrictions around coronavirus were introduced.

Half of the eggs were collected by the Jigsaw Foodbank in Matlock, which is run by Church in the Peak, and the other half were delivered to the Chesterfield Foodbank.
Foodbanks across the country have seen a drop in donations during the coronavirus, at a time when they play an even more important role than normal.
