Egg‑citing news for local families as Treetops Easter hunt returns

Treetops Hospice is relaunching its annual Easter Egg Hunt this April, inviting local families to take part in a day of Easter‑themed activities.
The event is set to take place on Saturday 4 April 2026 at the hospice’s 12.5‑acre grounds in Risley – featuring a scavenger hunt, games, crafts, inflatables, stalls to browse, and a meet‑and‑greet with the hospice’s brand-new mascot.
The Easter Egg Hunt has been a popular event in the local community, attracting hundreds of families each year before it was paused in 2019. Its return aims to provide a family‑friendly day out while supporting the hospice’s important services.
Funds raised will contribute to the future of Treetops Hospice and the specialist end‑of‑life care and bereavement support it provides to patients and families across the southern and central Derbyshire region.
As part of its commitment to supporting local families, Treetops will also be donating a number of free tickets to the poverty and deprivation charity, Derby Food 4 Thought Alliance. The charity will distribute these to families they support, helping ensure the day is accessible to those who might otherwise miss out.
The event will run from 10 AM to 2 PM, with scavenger hunts taking place in waves. Booking is now open for dedicated time slots.
Victoria Rocca, Relationships Manager at Treetops Hospice, said: “We are so pleased to be bringing back the Easter Egg Hunt.
“Community events like this are vital in helping us raise funds for our specialist care and shining a light on the services we provide.
“By joining us on 4th April at Treetops, you’ll enjoy plenty of Easter fun with the family, while helping to support your local hospice.”
Local businesses are also getting involved by donating chocolate eggs, raffle and tombola prizes and Treetops is encouraging those who can get involved.
Tickets are priced at £5 per child (under 18), with adults free.
