What's on - Luton Kids go Mad for Mad Hatter Hats and Easter Bonnets

19 March, 2010

Spring is officially here! In true Luton style, local children are being invited to take part in a special Mad Hatter and Easter Bonnet workshop to celebrate the fact that Easter is on its way.

The event, which is completely free, is the third Funday Sunday Kids' Club held at The Mall Luton. It will take place on the 28th March between 11am and 4pm and all children are welcome to join in the fun.

Luton, the home of the 'Hatters' and famous for its international hat trade, has always been at the cutting-edge of hat design. And there are sure to be some wonderful millinery creations in The Mall Luton on the 28th March! Every child will get the opportunity to create a funky hat to wear home or to give away as a fabulous Easter present. The workshop will take place at Melson Square (outside Mothercare) and the first 100 children to arrive will receive a complimentary gift from the Mall Monster.

Over 350 children have enjoyed the Funday Sunday events in The Mall Luton so far this year. With Easter just around the corner, and this month's theme also including the much anticipated Alice in Wonderland film, children should have plenty of inspiration to create hats and bonnets that early (and existing) Luton hat makers would be proud of.

"Luton is very proud to be the home of the millinery trade," Says Lavinia Holland, Marketing Manger for the Mall Luton."So we are very excited about this month's Funday Sunday Kids' Club. Judging by the success of the clubs in January and February, I think children will love it - as it involves dressing up and being creative! It is always lovely to see the children take home something they have made themselves which they are really proud of."

Every child can pick up a free "Stamp Me" loyalty card if they have not been to the club before. This loyalty card lists the dates and theme of every Funday Sunday Kids' Club in 2010 and tells children what they will be making at each session - so they can look forward to more fun throughout the year.

The next Funday Sunday Kids' Club event will take place on April 25th 2010 and will be dedicated to celebrating the new Robin Hood film by making Robin Hood hats and Maid Marion crowns!
