EGG-CITING TIMES AT SPINNINGFIELDS
April has arrived, bringing longer days and a welcome dose of sunshine – perfect for getting out and about and making the most of the season. If you’re looking for fun ways to spend the Easter break, Spinningfields is brimming with exciting things to see, do and discover.
It may feel like the school term only just started, but the holidays are here once again—and there’s plenty on offer to keep the whole family entertained.
Here’s what’s on and where to soak up some seasonal fun in Spinningfields…
HOPPY EASTER
We’re hopping into spring with an Easter-themed hopscotch trail on Hardman Square. This colourful, playful activity is open to all ages – just the thing to get everyone moving while soaking up the spring sunshine.
SPINNINGFIELDS EASTER EGG HUNT
And that’s not all! From 11am – 1pm on Wednesday 16 April, we’ll be tucking away 25 Easter eggs at each of four secret locations across Spinningfields — and we’ll even be handing a few out too, because let’s face it – everyone needs help once in a while.
Here’s how it works:
From 11am, we’ll be revealing a series of clues and riddles both via push notifications on our app. These will point you towards the four egg-hunt hotspots.
Once you crack the clue, make your way to the spot and keep your eyes peeled — eggs could be tucked away in all sorts of nooks and crannies! And if you’re lucky, you might just bump into one of our Easter helpers handing them out too…
Make sure you’ve got your app notifications switched on to stay ahead of the hunt.
