Easter Egg Hunt
MONDAYS
A yearly favourite for the young or old, our residents seem to have a natural ability to hunt down chocolate! Following clues and assisted by their furry little helpers – our carers dressed up in Easter bunny outfits – residents will be given fun clues to find their chocolate prizes! A small party with cupcakes and other sweet treats will be enjoyed in the Bistro alongside tea, coffee and extravagant Easter hats!
