Spring is here and Easter is just around the corner! At Hilltop Garden Centre, we've stocked our shelves with a delightful array of Easter treats to help you celebrate Easter with your family. Whether you're looking for delicious chocolates, cute decorations, or unique gifts, we've got something special waiting for you. We're also super egg-cited about our free Easter Egg-stravaganza Event on Sunday 13th April and look forward to welcoming you on the day!
Hilltop’s Easter Egg-stravaganza!
Join us on Sunday 13th April for a day of family fun at our Easter Egg-stravaganza! It’s a free event for the whole family, packed with exciting activities. A Disney princess will be here for a magical meet-and-greet from 11 am to 1 pm, while our talented face painter will be on hand from 10 am to 2 pm to transform little faces into their favourite characters. Kids can also take part in our Easter egg hunt and quiz, with prizes for all the winners, plus there’s a colouring competition to unleash their creativity. To keep the little ones refreshed, we’re offering a free drink and biscuit for every child. Our restaurant will be serving Easter-themed hot drinks, milkshakes, and cakes for one day only — so don’t miss out! And for an extra sprinkle of magic, our team will be dressing up as their favourite Disney characters, so we’d love to see you and your family join in the fun by coming in costume too! Find out more about the event here.

Delicious Easter Treats
No Easter celebration is complete without a bit of chocolate indulgence! We're excited to offer a selection of plant-powered NOMO (No Missing Out) chocolate eggs – the perfect treat for those with dietary preferences or allergies, so everyone can enjoy a sweet Easter, alongside a wide range of regular chocolate eggs for the kids. You'll also find adorable Easter bunny chocolates and eggs perfect for Easter egg hunts around the garden or home. For something a little different, why not try our handmade gingerbread bunnies? They're as cute as they are tasty and make a lovely gift or after-dinner treat.
If you're a fan of traditional Easter bakes, our Simnel cake slabs are a must-have. Packed with rich fruit and marzipan, they capture the true taste of Easter and pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee.

Easter Decorations to Brighten Your Home
Bring the spirit of Easter into your home with our beautiful range of seasonal decorations. Our decorative Easter egg door wreaths will give your guests a warm welcome, while our table decorations add a charming touch to your Easter dining experience. You’ll also find cute decorative Easter chicks that are perfect for adding a playful touch to your home or Easter baskets.
We also have a selection of bunny ceramic pots and Easter-themed jugs – lovely for holding spring blooms and trinkets or as a thoughtful gift for a loved one. These unique pieces make a beautiful addition to your Easter table or mantelpiece and can be enjoyed long after the Easter holiday is over.
