The Rutland Lions Virtual Easter Egg Hunt Returns
Get ready to stretch your legs and sharpen your sleuthing skills! The Lions Club of Rutland is back for 2026, bringing their annual virtual Easter Egg Hunt to the streets of Oakham. This community favorite combines outdoor exercise with a digital twist all while raising vital funds for local causes.
If you're looking for the perfect family activity to fill the Easter holidays, here is everything you need to know to join the hunt.
Event Details:
The hunt takes place over two days, ensuring plenty of time for everyone to get involved:
Dates: Thursday, 9 April and Friday, 10 April
Time: 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM
Starting Point: Oakham Library
The Rutland Lions have designed a route around Oakham that is as fun as it is challenging. Participants will navigate the town to find 20 brightly colored pictures of eggs. It’s not just about spotting them, though; you’ll need to match the eggs to specific clues on your sheet to solve the puzzle.
Head to Oakham Library to register. To kickstart your adventure, the Lions are offering a choice of a Creme Egg or a piece of fruit for that essential energy boost.
Since this is a "virtual" hunt, your smartphone is your best friend. To prove you’ve successfully tracked down the hidden gems, you must take a photo of each egg you find.
Once you’ve completed the circuit, head back to the library. Show your photos to the Lions team, hand in your answer sheet, and verify your total egg count.
No Easter hunt is complete without a prize! Every participant who completes the challenge and hands in their answers will be rewarded with a packet of mini eggs.
Beyond the chocolate, the true heart of the event is the impact on the community. The funds raised through the Lions' efforts stay right here in Rutland, supporting local community causes and neighbours in need.
Make sure your phone is fully charged before you head out
You wouldn't want to find egg number 19 only for your camera to run out of juice.
Will you be Oakham's top egg-splorer this year?
Head down to Rutland County Library, Oakham on April 9 or 10 to find out.
