Running every day from Monday, April 7, to Sunday, April 20, families can take part in an Easter bunny trail.

Guests will be challenged to hunt for the Clarks Village Easter bunnies hiding clues in the windows of 10 brands. The trail will end at the much-loved Cadbury store where a sweet treat reward will be waiting.

Question sheets and maps can be collected at the start of the trail, at the Clarks Village Guest Services Hub in Pear Court. In addition, throughout the holidays, six golden tickets will be hidden in the outlet with family passes to Wookey Hole inside.

While visiting Clarks Village, children will also love a visit to its adventure playground. The outlet’s King Arthur Forest Play Park boasts slides, swings, treehouse towers, bridges, climbing rings and rockers. What’s more, there is plenty of outdoor space throughout the outlet with accessible wide-paved malls, green spaces and landscaped gardens to enjoy. Everyone in the family is welcome, even furry friends with Clarks Village crowned the UK’s most dog-friendly shopping centre at the DogFriendly Awards.
