To entertain visitors over the series of long weekends, the
Pavilion Shopping Centre is hosting various events and activations: children’s
participative crafts and games activities, a “Surprise & Delight” promotion
and a night market.
April has an abundance of days off with public holidays over four consecutive weekends. With locals and holidaymakers looking for things to do during that time, the Pavilion Shopping Centre is laying on some family-friendly activities over the period.
The Easter themed activation, for the little ones, will take place between April 18-21 on the cinema level near Mugg & Bean from 11h00 to 18h00 daily. The activation will feature an interactive Easter Bunny Garden Experience, where children can enjoy a variety of activities including cookie decorating, creating bunny masks, and playing garden themed games, which will offer plenty of photo worthy moments in the beautiful Easter children’s activation.
Plus from April 18-22, there will be a “Surprise & Delight” promotion where roaming promoters will randomly spot shoppers throughout the centre, and they will stand a chance to win their share of R25,000 in Pavilion shopping vouchers. (Terms and conditions apply.)
