It was egg and spoons at the ready as hundreds of people turned out for a day of Easterthem­ed challenges at Goodneston­e Park.

Youngsters took part in an egg hunt in the beautiful grounds near Canterbury on Saturday before competing in traditiona­l games, including sack races.

Visitors even tried their hand at egg throwing – with some messy results – and competed in egg and spoon races.

There was facepainti­ng for the little ones, as well as a barbecue and live music for families to enjoy throughout the day.

An estimated 500 people attended the event.

People were also able to explore the gardens and parkland, which was a favourite place of author Jane Austen, whose brother lived in a cottage on the land.

The gardens are open to the public from April to September.
