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 invited to get involved by donating chocolate eggs or prizes for the raffle and tombola.
Tickets are priced at £5 per child (under 18), with adults free.

About Treetops Hospice
Treetops Hospice is a leading end-of-life care charity in Derbyshire, for adults with life-limiting conditions, people who have been bereaved, and their families.
The charity offers support from the point of diagnosis onwards for patients living with conditions such as cancer, motor neurone disease and heart and respiratory illnesses.
Last year, the Treetops nursing team supported over 2,000 patients, with over 34,000 hours of end-of-life care delivered.
The bereavement counselling team provided more than 5,000 hours of sessions – including over 1,500 for children and young people. The Wellbeing team also offers vital information, guidance, and emotional support to those who need it most.
A donation of £34.50 helps provide a counselling session for a bereaved child. A donation of £108 helps provide nursing care through the night for a patient at the end of life.
