With very little time to go until the start of the 6th Great Knaresborough Bunny Hunt….. Laura Dudley from Painting Pots Knaresborough is busy planning this years Easter extravaganza!
Over the last five years The Great Knaresborough Bunny Hunt has raised nearly £9,000 for local charities. Charities such as Henshaws Arts & Crafts Centre, AspinSchool mental health fund, K’rescue Knaresborough, Harrogate & Knaresborough Toy Library, Knaresborough Museum, restart yorkshire, orb, the gift people, Time together, Northernline arts, Lucies Animal Rescue and Inspire Youth have all benefitted.
This year ceramic bunnies are once again visiting 16 local businesses in Knaresborough!!
The bunnies are hand painted in designs, patterns, and inspired by characters and recognisable personalities and products. This year Laura from Painting Pots is busy painting up Bunnies but has invited 8 incredible local artists to come and paint a bunny too! Their gorgeous bunnies will also be up for auction at the end of the hunt as usual in an attempt to raise more money for this years charities. Keep an eye out for the artists bunnies and check out their work!
A map with the locations of the bunnies is hand drawn and painted along with this year logo by local artist Helen Salmons who is The Relentless Crafter.
The maps are printed by local amazing printers Sid Horners and sons and can be purchased from for £3 from Painting Pots, Castlegate, PJ ices on the Waterside and the Oldest Chemist Shoppe, market square.
Bunny hunters use the map to find the bunnies, fill in their form and hand them back in to receive a sweet treat, a sticker and entry to win a £50 voucher for Painting Pots.
The Great Knaresborough Bunny Hunt gives the whole community a cheap activity that they can make last all day outside in the fresh air getting exercise. Businesses and Knaresborough as a whole receive increased foot fall and marketing. Local charities receive funds and advertising. It’s an event that benefits all involved.
Join us at the Knaresborough Spring Fayre organise day The Knaresborough Business Collective on the 8th of April for crafts and The Great Knaresborough Bunny Hunt Parade!
A huge thank you to this years sponsors
All profits this year will go to towards Lauren Doherty Road Safety talks, The Memory Lane Cafe, Knaresborough and New Beginnings!
