EVENT DESCRIPTION


We invite you to don your Easter bonnet, dress in your finest Easter-inspired clothing, and join us in the Gardens and Orangery this Easter weekend for two days of eggs-cellent family fun in partnership with the DSPCA.


Throughout this weekend, children big and small will be allowed to eggs-plore the beautiful grounds of Killruddery with a very special Easter-themed treasure trail and family event. There will be prizes to be won, Spring Stories in The Orangery, Easter Eggs, baby animals to visit, traditional garden games and much more!


With a small card that will be stamped at each location, look forward to eggs-cellent challenges, clues, and moments to sketch and treasure in our Easter treasure trail. The funds raised from this event will go directly to support the DSPCA’s cause to raise funds to purchase a true life-saving change for the animals that arrive at the shelter and increase productivity for the vet team.


ABOUT THE DSPCA:


The DSPCA was established over 180 years ago in 1840. Over the years, the DSPCA has grown to be the leading animal welfare charity in Ireland, existing uniquely to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome sick, injured, and cruelly treated domestic and wild animals. The DSPCA is supported and enhanced by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who help to save lives every day.


The DSPCA is delighted to be hosting the annual Easter Event with Killruddery. The work that the DSPCA does in the community is very important and so this event will allow the charity and volunteers to meet new people and raise awareness of the many programs and initiatives that the DSPCA does to help animals and people.
