The Marlowes Shopping sees Jurassic invasion for half-term
The Marlowes Shopping Centre saw a Jurassic takeover this half term, with a free ‘Dino Day’ event on Wednesday 28th May for families to enjoy.
Visitors to the centre were delighted to come face-to-face with the seven metre long T-Rex ‘Chomp’ in the South Mall throughout the day, whose roarsome entrance caused quite a stir! Families enjoyed interacting with the fiersome giant and posing for photos, and were delighted to meet the friendly baby dinosaurs Bash, Nibbles and Sky too for an experience to remember.
A Jurassic trail was also free to enjoy, taking young explorers on an adventure around the shopping centre to locate eight dinosaurs within shop windows, in the hopes of winning a £50 voucher to spend in-store at The Entertainer. Attendees are encouraged to keep an eye out for the prize draw, set to be announced soon.
Those who came along on the day can also enter the ongoing photo competition on The Marlowes’ Facebook page, giving attendees the chance to win a £25 B&M voucher when they share their photos from the day.
Humphrey Mwanza, Centre Manager at The Marlowes Shopping Centre, commented “We’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who came along to enjoy our amazing Dino Day this half term. We’re pleased to offer a range of free events to our local community, and it was wonderful to see so many people enjoying meeting the ferocious Chomp and the adorable baby dinosaurs. Keep an eye on our social media and website for more information regarding upcoming events at The Marlowes – coming soon!”
