Love Chingford Charity Easter Trail

THIS EVENT IS NOW SOLD OUT.

The whole Love Chingford team is excited to welcome everybody to the park on Saturday for our inaugural Easter Egg Trail, raising funds for the Dream Factory Children Charity.

When you arrive at the Park, please visit the check-in desk marked as the ‘Welcome’ desk on the below map. Please have your tickets ready on your phone or printed out ready for one of our volunteers to give you a trail map and answer any questions.

We have been overwhelmed by how popular the event has been and ticket sales have smashed our expectations. This event is running from 12 noon till 4 pm so we encourage all ticket holders to attend between those times and be prepared for short queues at some activities. The children's park and other facilities within Ridgeway Park will be open as usual. The miniature Railway will also be opening for the first time in 2024 and will be kindly donating all their ticket sales to the charity.

The event will take place regardless of weather conditions. Please check the forecast and come prepared as this is an outdoor event.

Please remember that this event is entirely run by volunteers, we know we won’t get everything right this year but we are all excited to deliver a fantastic family event on Saturday.

A full list of FAQs is below.

We look forward to meeting you all,

Love Chingford Team
