Free family activities at centre:mk this Easter
Posted 26th March 2024Visitors to centre:mk will be in for a real treat this Easter school holiday as the Easter Fair – complete with giant inflatable maze, appearances from the Easter Bunny, balloon modelling, face painting, Easter Egg Hunt, and Circus Club – all make their way to the heart of the Milton Keynes based shopping and leisure destination.
The Easter Fair, which will be held in Middleton Hall – outside John Lewis from 29th March to 11th April, has many free areas for families to enjoy – with an 8ft high, huge inflatable maze! Further free activities for the children include arts & crafts, meeting the Easter Bunny, balloon modelling, and face painting*. There will also be ticketed rides to enjoy – including the teacups, an inflatable train, trampoline bungees and crazy mini-golf. (*please see below times).
The very popular free Circus Club is also back for the holidays; hosted by performing arts specialists – Black Sheep Collective, giving children and adults alike, a chance to brush up on their circus skills from juggling to hula hooping. Located in Middleton Hall, Tuesday 2nd to Friday 5th April 12-3pm and the following week, Monday 8th – Friday 12th April, 12-3pm.
What’s more, from Thursday 28th March until Monday 1st April, children are invited to complete the Easter Egg Hunt around the centre, where they will need to use their eagle-eyed skills to search for ‘eggs’ in just 10 of the shop windows. Once complete, they can return their entry form to Guest Services and be rewarded with a very special Easter treat!
