Whether you’re planning a full family day out with rock climbing and fun in the new sandpit, looking to stock up on Easter treats, or fuelling up with ‘kids eat free’ offers at participating restaurants, there is something for everyone looking to make the most of the long weekend and beyond.
The centre’s opening hours across the Easter weekend will be:
- Good Friday (18th April) – 9am to 6pm
- Easter Saturday (19th April) – 9am to 7pm
- Easter Sunday (20th April) – Closed
- Easter Monday (21st April) – 10:30am to 4:30pm
Opening hours at individual retailers and restaurants may vary, so visitors are encouraged to check with specific venues ahead of their trip.
Mia Gordon, centre manager at Whiteley, said: “We know the Easter break is a much-needed time for families to relax, reconnect and make lasting memories. Whether you fancy climbing to new heights at Rock Up, catching the latest blockbuster at Cineworld or testing out the bigger and better giant sandpit, there’s something for everyone to enjoy all in one place at Whiteley this Easter.”
For those planning a trip to Whiteley this Saturday (19th April), the Easter Bunny and Sleepy Princess will be hosting a magical meet and greet, entertaining visitors with a sing-along of seasonal songs.
Whiteley also recently announced the re-opening of its much-loved sandpit just in time for Easter, with the refreshed space offering a brand-new decking area, accessibility ramp and a whole host of new toys to make sure all children can have even more fun outdoors during the school holidays.
What’s more, the centre is also offering a free Easter hunt every day until 21st April, with visitors able to pick up a clue sheet from Waterstones and head back to the store once they’ve solved the mystery for a special treat.
A number of Whiteley’s restaurants are also offering kids eat free deals this Easter, letting families fuel up for less after their action-packed day out:
- Frankie & Benny’s – From now until 27th April, children can enjoy a delicious main, side, drink and dessert for free with the purchase of an adult main meal.
- Prezzo – Kids can also enjoy a free meal at Prezzo this Easter until 27th April with the purchase of an adult main, meaning there’s even more options for families to choose from!
