CUMBRIA Freemasons will be hosting an Easter Egg Ride this spring. 

The charitable event helps lodges across the county deliver Easter eggs to children in need over the Easter break.

The event has run in years gone by and has been a great success for the Freemasons. 

This year they will be riding across North and West Cumbria delivering the chocolates to those in need. 

The event will take place on March 23. 

A spokesperson said: "There will be delivery to Jigsaw, Mayfield School, West Cumberland and Carlisle Children's Wards. 

"We will meet at 9am in Cockermouth and then at 10am at Crumbs in Dalston. Donations welcome, the ride is open to all."
