The handmade chicks for the Chick Hunt are styled with aprons, fashion accessories and even a violin, reflect the trades of the local venues that include a cafe, toy shop, medical centre and cheese shop.
Wheildons Butchers on Queensway, were among the first to take delivery of their own chick complete with knitted apron and a string of sausages.
“It’s brilliant to be involved in the Easter Chick Hunt in support of Francis House. We love our chick and are delighted to be hosting him in our shop window for the next few weeks,” said Mary Wheildon.
Hospice supporter and keen knitter Maria Dunbobbin of Cheadle Hulme, knitted each of the 30 cm chicks.
Sophie Goodlass, Business Development Manager at Gusto Restaurant, Wilmslow Road, said:
Maps for the Easter hunt are provided at Didsbury Library and each of the venues or can be downloaded from our website at Great Didsbury Easter Chick Hunt
To take part members of the public to fill in the name of each chick and answer a simple question about Francis House to be in with a chance of winning prizes.
Rachel Astill, fundraiser at Francis House said: “We have had great fun naming all chicks and handing them over to their new owners. We are delighted that so many local traders are taking part and we hope lots of people will enjoy getting involved.”
The chicks will be on display over the Easter period for five weeks from Thursday March 1 until April 6.
