Urmston’s Eden Square summer activities for children start on Saturday 11th June, 2011, with a pirates and princesses-themed treasure hunt.
Suitable for all ages, children are invited to find the clues hidden throughout Eden Square to lead them to the pirates’ hidden treasure chest.
The event is free and will take place between 11am and 4pm.
There will be activities for children in Eden Square every second and fourth Saturday throughout the whole summer. Each month will focus on a different theme and children are encouraged to dress up, with June being pirate and princess-themed, July looking at animal antics and in August the square will ‘go-green’ and take a look at what goes on in the garden.
Leon Guyett, senior development executive at Ask, the developers behind Eden Square, said: “With the summer on our doorstep, finding something different for the kids to do at weekends is not always easy. Following the success of last year’s programme we’ve again put together a great line-up of exciting and engaging events at Eden Square that both the kids and their parents will love and we’re expecting a big turn-out.
“To coincide with the newly released Pirates of the Caribbean movie, we are kicking off this weekend with a pirates and princesses treasure hunt which gives kids a chance to dress up and get out exploring in the fresh air. It’s a free event and parents will get the chance to sit back and relax with a coffee while their children exhaust themselves looking for treasure!”
