Spring has officially sprung at The Glades, and we’ve got a magical three-day event that’s perfect for families looking for a little seasonal sparkle this Easter. From butterfly trails to crafty fun, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. So, pop the dates in your diary and get ready to spread your wings!

When?: Thursday 17th April – Saturday 19th April

Time: 11am – 4pm daily.

Here’s what’s in store…

Start off by stepping into our Central Atrium, where you’ll meet the charming Butterfly Bellhop! Dressed to impress, they’ll be handing out feel-good butterfly affirmations and trail maps to guide you through our fluttery adventure.

Giant Colouring Wall

Get creative on our giant, double-sided colouring wall – designed especially for budding artists big and small. It’s packed with beautiful butterfly designs just waiting for you to colour and bring to life!

Balloon Wall & Butterfly Wings

It’s not an event without a photo opportunity, and this one’s a showstopper! Snap a photo at our giant balloon wall where you’ll transform into a beautiful butterfly with our stunning wings. It’s the perfect moment to share on your socials. (Don’t forget to tag us! @thegladesbromley)

Crafty Corner

Calling all mini makers! Head to our children’s craft area where your little ones will be able to create their very own butterfly-themed keepsakes to take home. Think glitter, wings and lots of fun!

The Butterfly Trail

Pick up your trail map from the Bellhop in the Central Atrium and explore our Upper and Lower Malls, where a fluttery adventure awaits. Along the way, you’ll find a face painting station, butterfly-themed props, and discover butterflies, each with a self-love affirmation or practice for you to try.
