Clarks Village is gearing up to offer an exciting array of Easter activities designed for family fun, including free craft workshops, an enticing Easter trail, and a diverse range of local pop-up artisan traders.

As schools break up for the Easter holidays, the shopping outlet is inviting families to participate in complimentary 'make and take' craft workshops.

These creative sessions will be hosted in the outlet's Homeware Pavilion from 11am to 4pm on Good Friday, March 29, and Easter Saturday, March 30.

With no need to book in advance, children can dive into arts and crafts, making their own Easter-themed decorations like chickens, rabbits, lambs, and suncatcher butterflies from a variety of materials.

Adding to the Easter celebrations, Clarks Village will introduce an Easter trail from Easter Monday, April 1, through to Sunday, April 8.

Participants will embark on a quest to find 11 Easter eggs hidden within the window displays of the outlet's brands. Successful egg hunters will be rewarded with a Lindt chocolate treat. Free trail activity sheets are available from the brightly pink-clad Clarks Village Guest Services team stationed throughout the outlet, or from the Guest Services Hub in Pear Court.

The Easter Bank Holiday weekend will also see the arrival of local artisan traders at Clarks Village, offering shoppers a taste of Somerset's finest hand-made produce.

The lineup includes treats from Wells fudge makers 'Go Fudge Yourself', Shepton Mallet's Sean the Chef, Glastonbury gin courtesy of Somerset Crafts Distillery, and gourmet scotch eggs from Bridgwater's Chickies. The pop-up stalls will be present from Thursday, March 28, to Sunday, March 31.

Chris Davis, Centre Director of Clarks Village, said: "It is our pleasure to welcome guests to visit Clarks Village over the Easter holidays. Our line-up of brands with exclusive-to-outlet discounts and dining are a huge draw - alongside our adventure play park, outdoor space, and Central Square Gardens, which comes into its own during Spring.

 "We know that our guests have enjoyed browsing artisan stalls on their Clarks Village trips, from our previous successes, and we're sure the pop-ups will be a welcome addition this Easter, as well as our Easter egg trail and craft workshops."
