CUSTOMERS at Webbs Garden Centre in Wychbold have raised £54 for charity through the store’s giant Cheese-ter Egg.

The store launched an unusual Easter egg competition, asking customers to guess the weight of a giant cheese egg to raise money for St Richard’s Hospice.

The egg was made from a combination of Webbs honey and ginger cheese, with a Whittington red cheese centre, encased in bees’ wax, and customers paid £1 each to guess at its weight.

Winner Robert Bagley from Worcester made the closest guess to the actual weight of the egg at 1.234kg.

Leanne Hodgetts, business development manager at Croome Cuisine, which created the egg, said: “This charity is very close to our hearts after a very close family member passed away here three years ago. The care and support they gave her and us will never be forgotten and we were pleased to give something back to them to show our appreciation.”
