Love Chingford Charity Easter Trail 2025

The whole Love Chingford team is excited to welcome everybody to Ridgeway Park on Monday 21st April for our Easter Egg Trail, raising funds for the Dream Factory Children’s Charity.

Due to the phenomenal demand last year, we have decided to sell tickets this year in time slots. We hope that this ensures everyone can enjoy the trail and avoids congestion. When purchasing your ticket, please select which time slot you would like to arrive. 

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.

 This event is running from 11am till 3 pm so we encourage all ticket holders to check-in at the start of the trail at your confirmed slot start time 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 from Midday and will be kindly donating a percentage of 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, but we are all excited to deliver a fantastic family event on Easter Monday.

A full list of FAQs is below.

We look forward to meeting you all,

Love Chingford Team
