To kickstart a summer of fun, FREE activities, The Heart will be welcoming a rather special guest to the Shopping Centre.
Join the Centre on Thursday, 25th July, between 10 am and 3 pm for an action-packed Minions-themed event.
Meet & Greet: Throughout the event, we will be joined by a real-life Minion who will be posing for pictures in front of our selfie backdrop which will also be covered in Minion props to make your pictures that extra bit special.
You can catch our crazy Minion in 20-minute intervals between 10 am and 3 pm - Check out our social media channels for further details.
Interactive Games: Minions love to play games, especially Limbo, so join us for action-packed fun at one of our four interactive game sessions.
Colouring Class: Minions love to get creative, so children of all ages are invited to take part in our colouring class, where they can pick one of three Minion designs to make their own.
Competitions: We all know that Minions LOVE bananas, so visitors to the Centre will have a chance of winning a huge jar of banana sweets; all you have to do is guess how many are in the jar for a chance to take it home!
All activities listed above are free of charge, and no booking is required, so just pop by!
Mark Middleton, Centre Manager at The Heart Shopping Centre, added, “We’re excited to bring Minions Madness to our shoppers. It’s going to be a fantastic day filled with fun activities and chances to win great prizes. We look forward to seeing families and Minions fans join us for this special event.”
This event is one of three planned activities focused on family fun this summer holidays. On Thursday, 8th August, families can enjoy free family fun with face painting, glitter tattoos and balloon modelling. On Thursday, 29th August, we’re getting ready for the new school year with Back to School Bingo! For details on these upcoming events, be sure to visit the Centres website or follow them on your favourite social media channel.
Throughout the summer, visitors can also take part in a fun Olympics-themed trail - can you find the twelve hidden sports which are located within some of our retailers? If so, be sure to enter, as we have great prizes up for grabs. This will take place between the 25th of July and the 31st of August.
After your exciting day of Minion fun, why not visit one of our delicious restaurants within the Centre? These include Pizzeria No 1, PizzaExpress, Buenasado Steakhouse, Carluccio’s Five Guys, Nando’s, or the newly opened IRO Sushi and Wagamama. Alternatively, enjoy a refreshing drink at Juice Station or one of our many coffee shops.
Once you’re refuelled after our event, why not take this time to get ahead on the back-to-school shopping? We have a great range of stores offering everything you need for a new school year in September. These include; Poundland, Clarks Shoes, Next, EE, Argos and many more.
