EVENT DESCRIPTION
We invite you to don your Easter bonnet, dress in your finest Easter inspired clothing, and join us at Killruddery this Easter weekend for two days of eggs-cellent family fun in partnership, once more, with the DSPCA.
Throughout this weekend, children big and small will be given the opportunity to eggs-plore the beautiful grounds of Killruddery with a very special Easter themed treasure trail and family event.
There will be a raffle where you can purchase tickets in The Orangery (winners will be announced at a later date), Spring Stories in The Orangery, a goodie bag (per family), baby animals to visit, traditional garden games and much more! With a card which will be stamped at each location, look forward to eggs-cellent lawn games, questions and clues on our Easter treasure trail.
The funds raised from this event will go directly to support the DSPCA's cause to purchase a blood diagnostic machine for the DSPCA Veterinary Department, significantly decreasing the amount of time to receive blood test results from 3-6 days, to 12 minutes - a truly life saving change for the animals that arrive to the shelter and increasing 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 animals - both domestic and wild. The DSPCA is supported and enhanced by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers who help save lives everyday.
The DSPCA is delighted to be hosting their second 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 programmes and initiatives that the DSPCA does to help animals and people.
