THE MAD Hatter's Easter Egg Hunt scheduled for Easter Monday has been postponed due to the poor weather forecast.

Wessex Cancer Trust organisers have decided the Parkhurst Forest site would be too wet.

The hunt is now scheduled for Sunday, April 8 between 10am and 1pm.

Wessex Cancer Trust this week launched a £100,000 appeal to build a new Cancer Wellbeing Centre in Newport.

The hunt is one of many events to raise cash for that appeal.
