THE Easter Bunny would feel very much at home if he dropped in on Richmond's Market Hall at the weekend.

The town's rabbit refuge, Bunny Burrows, is holding its annual promotional day from 10am on Sunday, and will bring some of its residents to the event.

The Hot Cross Bunny Day includes stalls, a tombola and a rabbit-themed photo competition, as well as demonstrations on how wool can be spun from the fur of angora rabbits.

Bunny Burrows founder and other experts will be on hand to offer advice on how to care for rabbits, with proceeds from the day to be used to support the work of the refuge.
