Join in the Easter fun with the Gruffalo Trail at Fox Valley
18 March 2024
There is plenty of family fun in store at Fox Valley over the Easter Bank Holiday Weekend – 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 before following the signs around the centre to spot the Gruffalo’s orange eyes, black tongue and purple back prickles as well as some of the other characters from the hit children’s book ‘The Gruffalo’ written by Julia Donaldson.
Each stop on the Gruffalo Trail will have a letter displayed and players must follow the Trail in the correct order to spell out the hidden word.
Once the entry sheet has been completed, participants will then be able to hand their map back into JoJo Maman Bébé to be entered into a prize draw.
Those who take part will be in with a chance of winning a £50 voucher to spend in JoJos, which will be drawn on Monday, April 8.
There will also be a chance to get arty and crafty as JoJo’s will have some fun Gruffalo masks that can be coloured in and worn while you negotiate the Trail.
The Trail will be open on Friday, March 29, and runs until Saturday, April 6, and is designed to be a fun and interactive adventure with plenty of twists and turns for children to enjoy.
There will also be a chance to meet The Gruffalo himself, as the character will be roaming around the centre on the Saturday over Easter weekend between 11am and 3pm.
Claire Biltcliffe, Centre Manager at Fox Valley, said: “We can’t wait to welcome everyone in for a fun-packed Easter weekend and the Gruffalo Trail is sure to spark your children’s imagination.
“We wanted to do something a little different this Easter and we believe everyone will love this event.”
In addition to the Trail, there will be the usual Friday market between 10am and 3pm, featuring seven traders.
This includes the popular Edge’s Pizza, who will be serving up their delicious pizzas by the slice and full pie.
And if you fancy a sweet treat, When Butter Met Sugar will be offering their range of cupcakes, treat boxes, brownies, cakesicles and truffles.
