We're hosting our first ever Easter-inspired artisan market

For the first time, the market at Dalton Park will be Easter-themed as part of seasonal attractions taking place over the bank holiday weekend.

The Easter Artisan Market takes place on Saturday, April 4 and Sunday, April 5.

Shoppers can browse a selection of independent traders offering handcrafted gifts, seasonal treats and spring finds.

Also taking place on Saturday, April 4, is Dalton Park’s Easter Egg Hunt, which runs from 10am to 4pm.

Starting outside Dalton Park’s Guest Services, children will meet Patrick the Bunny and receive their bunny ears and hunt map.

Six large Easter eggs will be ready to find, across the outlet, encouraging families to explore as they go.

Throughout the hunt, children can take part in interactive activities including a counting challenge, a spot-the-difference game and Easter riddles to solve.

Once all clues have been completed correctly, participants can head back to the start of the trail to receive a soft toy bunny prize and chocolate treats.

Trails will run hourly throughout the day, with the final trail beginning at 4pm.

For some added Easter fun, families can also enter a competition on Saturday, April 4 to be in with a chance of winning a £50 Dalton Park gift card.

All guests need to do is complete their details on the back of the trail map and submit it at the end of the hunt.

Richard Kaye, Centre Manager at Dalton Park, said: “Easter is such a special time for families to come together, and this year we’re delighted to be bringing the magic to Dalton Park with a traditional interactive Easter Egg Hunt.

“It’s the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy a full day out together – from hunting for eggs to shopping, enjoying delicious food, playing mini golf and discovering everything Dalton Park has to offer.”
