Over a quarter of a million Cadbury Eggheads are being delivered to National Trust properties ahead of the annual Cadbury Easter Egg Trails, which are taking place over 3rd-6th April. Weighing in at 21.5 tonnes, the eggs in their thousands prove tricky to store with properties having to get creative to perfect the art of egg hiding – with temporary locations inside grandfather clocks, pianos, vases, bookcases and even using wheelbarrows to move them around, National Trust staff are poised and ready for one of the busiest weekends in the calendar.
