From 10am until 12.30pm, children hunted among the town centre shops seeking out the 12 retailers that had a chocolate rabbit on display.
Once all the rabbits had been spotted and recorded on an entry form, it was back to the market for posting into the prize draw.
A reward of a small chocolate egg awaited every child presenting a completed form.
An added bonus this year was that Royston Town Council gave away free cupcakes and Easter treats on their market stall.

In total, 12 runner-up prizes were drawn to win the chocolate rabbits, and one grand prize of a 1.2kg egg.
Town manager Geraint Burnell, who organised the event on behalf of Royston First, said: “The trail this year was exceptionally busy, no doubt in part due to the glorious weather we had.
