Join the team at Five Valleys for some bank holiday and half-term fun with the Gruffalo Trail
20 May 2024
There is plenty of family fun in store at Five Valleys over the
bank holiday and school half-term – including a chance to enjoy the twists and
turns of the Gruffalo Trail.
Children will be able to pick up their trail maps from JoJo Maman Bébé that will take them on a journey around
the Stroud-based shopping centre.
Those taking part need to keep an
eye out for the letters that will appear in store window helping to spell out a word. Once the trail is complete youngsters can return their sheet to JoJo’s to be entered into a fun
prize draw!
The trail runs from Bank Holiday Monday (May 27) until Saturday
(June 1) and is just one of the many fun reasons to visit Five Valleys for a great
family day out during the school break.
Erica Malpass, Centre Manager at Five Valleys, said: “If you
want to spend some fun family time together whilst the kids are off school then
Five Valleys is the place to be.
“The Gruffalo Trail is sure to spark your children’s imagination
and we also have many other things going on at the centre to help keep everyone
entertained.”
In
addition to the Gruffalo Trail, there are many more reasons to visit Five
Valleys over the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend and half-term break.
