Dozens of children enjoyed Easter festivities on the Cabinet Office lawn on Saturday where they were welcomed by the Premier and his wife.

David and Kristin Burt hosted the egg hunt for Government preschool pupils yesterday for the first time since 2019.

Activities included face painting, fun castles, games and a visit from the Easter bunny.

Mr Burt said yesterday: "My wife and I had a wonderful afternoon hosting yesterday's Easter Egg Hunt.

“This event was always eagerly anticipated and we were thrilled to be hosting it for the first time since 2019.

“It was a joy to see all the students from our Government preschools having such an enjoyable time with their friends and family.”

He added: "Good Friday and Easter are important times of celebration in Bermudian culture and it is great that we can gather with family, friends once again.

“Yesterday we were especially pleased to be able to have this community-focused activity which helped to lift the spirits of all who attended.

"I must extend my gratitude and appreciation to the Cabinet Office staff and public officers who helped to organise this year’s Easter Egg Hunt and a special thanks to all the vendors who participated and provided the tents, food, fun castles, face painting, music, games, Easter baskets and ensured we received a visit from the Easter bunny, all of which made today so enjoyable for everyone."

The Premier and Mrs Burt also attended various Good Friday events across the island on Friday.
