Wednesday, 16 April 2025 16:56

An Easter Egg hunt at Wilton House over the next few days will raise money for Salisbury Women’s Refuge.

The event features activities for youngsters, including a treasure hunt and face painting.

Ann Cox from Salisbury Women’s Refuge says, “The Easter egg hunt is a fun event - made into a treasure hunt whilst exploring the beautiful grounds of Wilton House.

“We have bunny ears, face-painting, raffles and a wonderful playground.

“All of the money will go to support Salisbury Women’s Refuge.

"The refuge provides women who are suffering domestic abuse with a safe haven where they can recover with their children and work towards independent living.

"The support workers help find suitable schools for the children, and we arrange play therapy to help the children.

“It is great to run such a fun event and contribute to this wonderful charity.”

Easter eggs are the prize for every winner of each event.

Entry is £5 plus Wilton House grounds entry and takes place on Friday, 18th, Saturday, 19th and Monday, 21st between 11 am and 4.30 pm.
