17&Central is inviting bunnies of all ages to hop along and celebrate Easter at the shopping centre. As well as a week-long Easter egg hunt, there will be themed face painting and a very special Bunny Bench where shoppers can stop and take an Easter selfie.

The fun began at 17&Central on Wednesday 6th April with the arrival of the Bunny Bench – a handmade, seasonally decorated swing seat full of gorgeous, pastel spring florals, giant eggs and the star of the show, the Easter bunny – offering the perfect spot for shoppers to take a festive selfie. The swing will be on site until 16 April.

On Monday 11 April, 17&Central’s BIG Easter egg hunt will begin. Designed for families and children of all ages (we’re talking adults too!) it’s a week-long hunt in the form of a trail around centre. Trail maps can be downloaded from the 17&Central website (www.17andcentral.co.uk) and Easter posters, featuring an egg and a bunny will be hidden around the shopping centre, including in some of the stores. There are 10 to find and all you need to do is name all the bunnies and submit your answers online for the chance to win an eggscellent daily prize of a £50 gift voucher to spend at 17&Central.

Over the Easter weekend (15, 16 and 18 April), there will be a face painter on site from 11.00 – 4.00pm each day spreading some festive cheer and creating some wonderful Easter faces – there will be bunnies, chicks and lambs galore, as well as some lovely floral creations.

Gwendolyne Lobo, Marketing Manager for 17&Central says: “It feels like the first time in a long while that we’ll able to celebrate Easter properly, and in true 17&Central style we wanted to do something that would appeal the whole community. I’ve had a sneak peek of the Bunny Bench and it looks spectacular so do come down and take a selfie – and don’t forget to tag us on social!”
