The Folksy Easter Treasure Hunt

It’s that time of year again – time to get cracking with an Easter Treasure Hunt. Folksy seller Niche has organised a fantastic competition where there are great prizes to be won. Simply look through Folksy to find the shops where the Easter treasure is hidden.

To take part, look out for special Easter eggs on the shop banners across Folksy. There are thirty-three eggs of three different colours (pink, yellow and blue). Find eleven eggs of the same colour and email a list of the shop names to folksytreasurehunt@gmail.com for your chance to win one of three goody bags filled with fabulous Folksy goodies worth up to £100! Find all three groups of eggs for more chances to win.

Winners will be announced on 5 April. Happy hunting everyone!
