MORE than 1,000 children hopped into Sale this Easter for some bunny-themed fun.

In the run-up to Easter and over the half-term break, The Sale Easter Trail saw hundreds of families pounding the streets hunting for bunnies and secret surprises.

More than a dozen businesses got on board with the two-week event.
