Three-fifths of respondents in a special online survey have said they will be spending time with their families over the weekend of March 29-April 1.

We’re expected to send more than 22 million Easter cards this year – and each child will receive, on average, eight chocolate eggs!

Traditionally, certain food is also prominent on many shopping lists at Easter – including hot cross buns, simnel cake, lamb, chicken, fish and eggs.

Your local Anglia Co-operative foodstore at Wisbech Road, Littleport, can supply all you’ll need if you’re planning a family Easter celebration.

And today’s Ely Standard will give one lucky reader the chance to win £150 worth of vouchers to spend at the store and help ensure an ‘eggs-tra’ special family occasion.
