CHILDREN and adults alike are looking forward to the return of the ‘moovelous’ Amberley Cow Hunt next weekend.

The popular annual event at Amberley Parochial School is expected to draw big crowds of over the bank holiday weekend.

To celebrate the forthcoming arrival of real cows to the surrounding National Trust Common, over 30 wonderfully dressed up wooden cows will be located in various places around the village of Amberley and the surrounding common.

As well as spotting all the “amoosingly” named cows along the way, participants can look forward to an update route this year.

Refreshments will be available at a fabulous vintage tea tent on the green outside the school, complete with a sumptuous array of homemade cakes and wonderful views.
