Free Easter Egg Hunt

Don’t be late! The annual Merchant Square Egg Hunt will be returning on 11 April.

Hunt for the Hidden Eggs: A Whisker-Twitching Easter Adventure!

Spring has arrived, but trouble is stirring in the Marvellous Mouse world! While the Marvellous Mouse Trio, Max, Mila & Milo, were fast asleep, a mischievous winter wind whisked away their cozy nest, taking with it the directions to their hidden Easter feast! Now, it’s up to you and your fellow whisker-twitching mice to wake up sleepy Milo, track down the lost nest, and retrace their steps to uncover the forgotten treats before they’re lost forever!

Join us for an interactive, character-led Easter adventure, where families will step into a magical woodland world filled with dress-up, storytelling, songs, games, and a thrilling quest to find the hidden eggs. As an official member of the Marvellous Mouse Gang, you’ll help solve the mystery, follow the trail, and celebrate your success with a special choctastic surprise at the end!

• Dress up with mouse ears & join the gang
• Help wake up sleepy Milo & explore the woodland
• Search for the lost nest  & piece together the clues to the eggs
• Find the hidden Easter feast & enjoy a sweet treat!

Get ready to twitch your whiskers, wiggle your tails, and embark on an unforgettable Easter adventure!
