Families visiting Springfields Outlet Shopping in Spalding, Lincolnshire (near Newark) be prepared for a jam-packed weekend of easter excitement and fantastic offers over the Easter weekend.

The Easter weekend this year runs from Friday 22 April to Monday 25 April, and Springfields is laying on lots of family fun to help families have a great time.

There will be a huge Easter Egg Hunt around Springfields Festival Gardens, children’s characters, floral displays and a face painter. Details on how to take part in the hunt will be available at the Springfields Information Point over the Easter weekend.

We are also delighted to welcome back X Factor’s, Alan Turner, back by popular demand on Easter Monday and there’s live music on Good Friday and Easter Saturday too.

Retailers will also be taking part in the Easter celebrations. There will be a ‘Home & Gardens’ promotion and lots of stores will be having special offers over the long weekend. Pop down to Springfields to see what great deals can be found! With up to 75% off great name brands and with such a wide range of Outlet Stores, Springfields is a great shopping day out. Stores include Game, Animal, Skechers, Jeff Banks, Nike Outlet, GAP Outlet, Staccato and a recently expanded M&S Outlet with their newly opened Clearance Section.

There will also be guided tours of the Festival Gardens, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the varied and intriguing gardens and the ideas behind them. The Festival Gardens are a beautifully landscaped area, featuring Chelsea-style celebrity showcase gardens, including designs by Charlie Dimmock and Kim Wilde and spectacular musical water fountains. These tours need to be pre-booked by visiting the Springfields Information Point or calling 01775 760909 before the Easter weekend.

Getting there is also a doddle – as well as loads of parking and good public transport links there is also the Spalding Water Taxi. This links Springfields to Spalding town centre and is a relaxing 30 minute cruise taking in the peaceful Spalding surroundings.

Tracy Turnell, Communications Manager at Springfields, said: “We’ve got something for everyone at Springfields this Easter. We love to go to town at Easter and create a fun and memorable place to visit, and this year is no different.

“Youngsters will love the Easter Egg hunt, face painting and other activities, while adults will find something to inform and entertain them with retailer demonstrations and guided tours of our extensive Festival Gardens.

“In addition to all this extra entertainment, we have over 50 stores including great names such as Nike Factory Store, Marks and Spencer & Gap Outlet’s with up to 75% off RRPs. We’re looking forward to welcoming you along to Springfields for a great day out and some bargain shopping!”
