Magical Marlowes Easter Event

The Marlowes Shopping Centre are hosting a ‘Magical Marlowes’ event in the Easter holidays.

Free for families to attend, on Wednesday 3rd April from 11am – 4pm a sprinkling of pixie dust will transform the shopping centre into a magical wonderland, with some classic characters and princesses roaming around the centre to meet and pose for photos with.

Alongside the range of characters, there will be a treasure hunt trail around the centre to enjoy to win a tasty treat to take home, with each completed entry form also being submitted to win a £50 custom prize bundle from The Entertainer.

Including face painters, themed arts and crafts and at 1:30pm in Centre Court, there will also be a fancy dress competition to win a fantastic prize provided by the centre, so families are encouraged to attend in their best costumes for the chance to win.

The event will be raising money for local charity Keech Hospice, a service that prides itself of excellent care for children and families needing end-of-life care.
