Summer Has Arrived at Westwood Cross

Families in Thanet who are looking for summer fun need look no further than Westwood Cross shopping centre in Broadstairs – the ideal place for full summer days out including stress-free shopping and a bite to eat al-fresco.
This year marks the centre’s 20th anniversary, and it continues to offer more than just great shopping. From action packed indoor activities to keep the kids entertained; to live music and a selection of dining options, there’s something for every member of the family to enjoy.
Take a walk on the wild side with the roar-some Dino Discovery Trail
Get ready for a Jurassic-sized adventure as Westwood Cross’s much-loved Dino Discovery Trail makes a stomping return - and this year, it’s bigger, bolder, and more roar-some than ever before.
Families are invited to step back in time and track down a fearsome line-up of prehistoric giants hiding across the centre. From gentle giant Bernard the Parasaurolophus and fierce queen Camilla the Stegosaurus to the centre’s legendary T-Rex duo, Boris and Napoleon.
The free trail is the perfect day out for dino-loving explorers of all ages, with fun facts and photo ops waiting at every turn. The dinosaurs will remain in residence throughout the school holidays, giving guests plenty of time to roam with the reptiles all the way through to November 2025.
Soak up the sounds of summer at the Busk Stop
Westwood Cross is tuning into summer with a vibrant line-up of live performances at its dedicated Busk Stop – a designated spot to bring energy, atmosphere, and local talent to the centre throughout the warmer months and beyond.
Guests can enjoy performances from local favourites including singers Phoebe McNamara and Tara Ashman, as well as crowd-pleasing saxophonist Matt Crawley, who’ll be bringing smooth, feel-good vibes to Westwood Cross.
