Easter holiday events at Peak Village

UK (SANEPR.com) April 7, 2009 -- Peak Village is hosting an exciting (and free!) events programme over the coming months, and Easter weekend is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a taste of things to come. Children can enjoy an egg hunt with a difference on Easter Sunday, 12 April, as Alice in Wonderland and her friends are on hand to dish out real chocolate eggs for every ‘egg’ found in the hunt. There is also a Golden Egg hidden within the grounds of Peak Village, and those lucky enough to stumble across it will be rewarded with an extra special prize.

Also on Easter Sunday from 10.00am-2.00pm, a professional face painter will be on hand offering free face painting and children will be able to take on a character of their choice as they enjoy the Easter festivities. Free face painting is also available at Peak Village earlier in the school holidays, from 11.00am-4.00pm on 7 April.

On Easter Monday, 13 April, from 11.00am-3.00pm, The Down Trodden String Band are back at Peak Village to entertain shoppers following a highly successful and popular performance on Mother’s Day. The band’s repertoire draws largely from the traditional songs and tunes of the Southern Appalachians, but also includes 1920s Tin Pan Alley songs and material from the likes of Robert Crumb and the Holy Modal Rounders. Their slightly unusual instrumentation – mandolin, guitar, banjo and octave mandolin – gives their music a distinctive and individual style but since all four can sing, they are perhaps best known for their strong four-part harmonies.

Massarella’s are helping families with the cost of family days out as they have now launched their ‘Kids Eat Free’ promotion, where every child can enjoy a free hot meal with every adult meal purchased. Martin Langsdale of Peak Village said: ” Easter is a great time of excitement for children and it is undoubtedly a great time to enjoy the beauty of Peak District National Park. We hope that the free activities and entertainment, not to mention the ‘Kids Eat Free’ offer at Massarella’s will be a real incentive for families to spend some of their Easter family time with us at Peak Village.”

Peak Village is home to nearly 20 retailers including national names like Cotton Traders, Leading Labels, Ponden Mill, The Cook Shop and Mountain Warehouse. The outlet shopping centre attracts 750,000 visitors a year and offers visitors the opportunity to combine shopping with other local attractions.
