This Easter, we’re celebrating community spirit the sweetest way we know how – free hot cross buns, made locally and shared together.
Easter is all about shared moments, community spirit and a few sweet traditions along the way. So this year, our Nelson Alexander offices have partnered with their favourite local businesses to give away free hot cross buns to the communities we’re proud to be part of.
At each participating location, they will have 150 artisanal buns freshly baked and ready for you to collect on the dates below. No catch, just the best of the neighbourhood, on us.
Whether you’re beating the morning rush and grabbing breakfast on the go, or picking up a mid-morning treat on your daily walk, find your nearest participating bakery below and pop in on the listed date to grab yours.

At Nelson Alexander, our communities are at the heart of everything we do. The neighbourhoods we work in are the ones we call home, where we support local businesses and connect with the people who make them so special.
So stop by, say hello to the team behind your local bakery or café, and enjoy a hot cross bun on Nelson Alexander this Easter.
Just be sure to get in early, these are only available while stocks last at participating bakeries.
