The eighth annual Great Knaresborough Bunny Hunt has raised more than £5,000 to be split between three local charities.
The event returned during the Easter holidays last month and invited families to hunt for decorated ceramic bunnies hidden in participating shops around Knaresborough.
Each year it’s organised by Laura Dudley of Painting Pots, with those who purchase a special map given the chance to win various prizes.
The event aims to attract people to visit the various independent shops around Knaresborough whilst raising money for vital causes.
And this year’s hunt has raised £5,295 - taking the overall fundraising total for the event to £22,479 since it began in 2018.


The money will be split between Andys Man Club in Knaresborough and Harrogate, Saint Michael's Hospice and Kingfisher Kiosk at Conyngham.
Each charity will receive £1,765.
Laura told Your Harrogate:
“A huge thank you to anyone and everyone who gets involved, supports, takes part and loves the bunny hunt as much as I do!
“Here’s to The Great Knaresborough Hunt 2026!”
