Britain's What's On Event Guide
Spring into Easter Fun at Westwood Cross
Westwood Cross is preparing for a long weekend of activities to keep the kids entertained this spring.
From 1 April, the family-favourite dinosaur trail will return to Westwood Cross, inviting guests to embark on a Jurassic journey into the past discovering life-sized dinosaurs, including Bernard the Parasaurolophus, Camilla the Stegosaurus, Charles the Dilophosaurus, and Boris, the fearsome T-Rex. The Broadstairs shopping centre’s pop-up park will also be reintroduced to encourage more time spent outdoors with little ones.
For one day only, the well-loved Easter Bunny will be hopping back to Westwood Cross to spread joy during the bank holiday weekend, with some egg-stra special surprises in store. Guests can take home an Easter egg, capture a selfie, or be in with the chance of winning an Easter prize bundle worth £100*. Find the Easter Bunny at the Community Hub, by Next, between 11:30am and 3:30pm on Saturday 4 April.
Throughout the Easter bank holiday weekend, Westwood Cross will come alive as local buskers perform at the centre’s dedicated Busk Stop, located outside the Community Hub. Tara James will be bringing rock ‘n’ roll to Westwood Cross on Friday 3 April, performing classics from the 1950s and 60s between 11-1pm, followed by local singing sensation, Phoebe McNamara, on Saturday 4 April performing pop-hits and power ballads.
Fran Donovan, Centre Director at Westwood Cross, said “Easter is always a busy time at Westwood Cross, and we’re excited to once again offer families a great mix of activities across the long weekend. From the return of our dinosaur trail to live performances from fantastic local talent — and a special visit from the Easter Bunny — there’s plenty to enjoy for all ages.
“With seasonal treats, gift ideas, and welcoming spaces to explore, we’re proud to be a place where the community can come together. We can’t wait to welcome guests for a fun and memorable Easter break.”
