Clarks Village is preparing to celebrate a significant birthday in a big way – and everyone's invited! The shopping centre is holding a festive three-day event, packed with fun, food, and fabulous entertainment, from Saturday 12th to Monday 14th August.

The summer's biggest street party offers something for everyone. Guests can shop for unique goods at pop-up artisan market stalls, snap selfies at the vibrant new floral photo wall and permanent flower archway, or relax and enjoy live music. And no birthday would be complete without cake – a giant birthday cupcake, to be precise!

For an Insta-worthy moment, visitors can capture their joyful celebration at the floral wall and newly installed floral archway, offering the perfect summery backdrop for a memorable selfie.

The real-life gigantic cupcake, 300 times the size of a regular one, serves as a mouthwatering photo opportunity that's too delicious to pass up. The first 300 partygoers will even receive a tasty slice of this colossal sweet treat.

Clarks Village encourages visitors to share their favourite images from the event using the hashtag #LoveClarksVillage on social media.

The street party also promises a range of engaging activities, ensuring that there's something to entertain and delight all who attend. A crafts workshop will allow guests to create unique keepsakes, while a festival glitter station offers the chance to sparkle from head to toe.

The celebratory atmosphere will be amplified by the sounds of six roaming musicians and entertainers performing throughout the three-day extravaganza. Additionally, talented pianist Chloe Marie Aston will grace the Central Gardens with her performance on Monday, 14th August.

Visitors will also have a chance to support local independent businesses at the pop-up artisan market.

The market boasts an array of unique goods, including hand-poured candles, magnificent crystals, award-winning gin, premium Somerset cider, and freshly-cut flowers. The list of participating traders includes Beckford's Rum, Brew Planet, Large Crystals, Mahoney Candles, Prosecco Palazzo, Rich's Cider, and several more.
