Roar and Explore at Eldon Square

Eldon Square, Newcastle’s premier shopping and leisure destination, is thrilled to announce that Roar and Explore, a free jungle-themed event is set to take place in the Community Quarter from Wednesday 27th - Saturday 30th May between 11am-3pm.

Roar & Explore

Designed for curious minds and animal lovers, Roar and Explore promises four days of fun-packed activities, perfect for keeping children entertained during the May half term holiday.

Explorers can unleash their creativity with a range of interactive activities, including animal mask making, where children can design and wear their own jungle-inspired disguises. Then, at the jungle creative station, kids can bring exotic animals to life using bold colours and their own imaginations.

The fun continues with story time safari, where families can gather for tales from the jungle, told by Eldon Square’s very own jungle rangers. Finally, the world map challenge invites young adventurers to match animals with their habitats and discover fascinating wildlife facts from across the globe.

All Roar and Explore events are free to attend at Eldon Square, and for those that can, Eldon Square is accepting donations for the Newcastle United Foundation – the local charity who use the power of football to connect, motivate and inspire the people of Newcastle.

Alongside Roar and Explore, Eldon Square is the perfect place to enjoy quality time with the family this May half term, with a wide range of restaurants offering fantastic dining deals for little ones. Chiquito. Smashburger, ASK Italian, Bella Italia and The Bake Eldon are just some of the brands with great deals for families looking to enjoy a delicious meal out.

Eldon Square is a must-visit location over half term offering a whole range of shopping and dining experiences for the whole family; whether it be finding the perfect outfit for summer holidays or catching up with relatives at one of its family-friendly restaurants, you’ll find it all at Eldon Square.

Helen Cowie, Centre Director at Eldon Square said: “We’re excited to bring the magic of the jungle to Eldon Square this half term. Roar and Explore is all about sparking imagination in young minds and provides the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with family. We can’t wait to welcome little adventurers to Eldon Square.”
