So Hot Cross Bunny Day has been and gone for another year and what a wonderful day we had!

We would like to say a few thank yous.  First of all, a big thank you to Rishi Sunak MP for opening the event.  Thank you to everyone at Richmond Town Hall for letting us use the venue.

A massive thank you to everyone who helped out on the day.  In no particular order: Hetty, Audrey H, Audrey S, Anne, Lisa, Rhianna, Nicky, Thelma, Betty, Lizzy, Wendy, Sophie, Grace, Erin, Alex, Jo, Steph, Andy, Sue, Jennifer, Barbara, Claire, Jonathan and Gwen.  Well done to all the animal for being so well behaved (we’re looking at you Rasputin!)

Thank you to everyone who baked the yummy cakes and buns we sold on the day, including Val and Becky Dodds, and Michelle Swales.

Also thank you to everyone who helps out with the day to day running of Bunny Burrows, whether it is cleaning out, shopping, doing the tip run or just having a cup of tea and keeping Gwen sane!

And finally a big thank you to everyone who came down to say hello.

Here’s a few photos from the event, from setting up the day before, the grand opening and the day itself.

Gretel has been helping to make sure everything is ready for Hot Cross Bunny Day by checking nothing has fallen down the back of the sofa

Mum! Mum! why don’t you get rid of these old cushions?

Meanwhile, Hans is busy disconnecting the kitchen sink…

Last minute preparations are underway for Hot Cross Bunny Day (did we mention it is this Sunday 9th April at Richmond Town Hall?).

All the residents have been chipping in and helping – Rasputin has been in charge of the shed, Hans has been helping Gwen in the kitchen and Fritz and Gigi sent the wild rabbits up to sort the loft out.

We had a visit from a friendly newt who offered to lend a hand, but as usual it was left to the tortoises to organise everyone!

As its coming up to Easter and the shops are full of bunny related things, at Bunny Burrows we’d like to remind you about the Make Mine Chocolate campaign.

The aim of the campaign is to convince pet shops to suspend the sale of rabbits over the Easter period to prevent impulse buying, and in turn reduce the number of bunnies which end up in rescue centres.  It also reminds people of the cost of keeping a bunny to try and dispel the myth that rabbits are a cheap pet. If you do decide to get a bunny then the website is full of useful information on how to keep them correctly.

The Make Mine Chocolate website provides a number of posters you can print off to display yourself to help spread the word.

For more information visit Make Mine Chocolate UK Website or Facebook page.

There are only 12 days left to Hot Cross Bunny Day 2017!  As you can see all the little helpers have been hard at work getting ready for the event.
