MERRY Hill is set to host a fun-filled Easter half-term for youngsters, including craft workshops, character appearances and an Easter egg trail around the centre.

Kicking off the jam-packed schedule on Monday (March 30), kids are invited to get creative at the Brierley Hill centre’s cookie decorating workshop, where they can design their own sweet treat.

The crafty fun will continue on Tuesday (March 31), as little ones can try their hand at egg cup decorating - complete with glitter, gems and googly eyes.

On April 1 and 8, kids can be transformed into an Easter bunny or chick with free face painting and glitter tattoos.

There’s the chance to create cracking crafts on Thursday (April 2) in the centre’s Easter-inspired workshop, while kids can also get creative in an Easter egg decorating workshop on Friday (April 3).

Youngsters are being invited to eggsplore the centre on April 3 and 4 with a specially designed Easter egg trail. The trail begins at the customer service desk near Boots.

Little ones can return to the customer service desk and exchange their completed trail form for a tasty reward.

Also on Saturday (April 4), families can head over to Costa coffee at the Odeon for heaps of family fun – including Pet a Pug, face painting and an Easter egg competition.

Rob Pickersgill, the centre’s marketing manager said: “We are really excited to have such an action packed calendar this Easter. With so many of activities to enjoy, there is sure to be something to keep everyone entertained.”
