Families are invited to make the most of the Easter holidays at Mermaid Quay, as the waterfront destination unveils a packed programme of free, family-friendly activities – led by a magical Easter Egg Trail running from 30 March to 12 April.
Spring has officially sprung in Cardiff Bay, and visitors can follow a colourful trail of “eggceptional” Easter eggs hidden throughout the Quay. Young explorers can pick up a trail sheet from the table outside the Glee Club before setting off to hunt for eggs displayed in shop and restaurant windows, collecting letters and unscrambling the secret Easter word to complete the challenge.
Adding to the excitement, the trail is hosted by the Marvellous Mouse Twins, who are bringing plenty of “eggciting” surprises along the way. But there’s a twist – one of their beautifully decorated eggs has been left blank after a blustery winter mishap, and they’re calling on visitors to help bring it back to life.
On Friday 3 April (12pm–5pm), families can head to Tacoma Square for a special Easter Fun Day, where children can meet the Marvellous Mouse Twins, take part in Easter games and help decorate the giant egg, creating a unique community artwork.
Alongside the trail, the much-loved Great British Fudge Bus returns to Mermaid Quay from 28 March to 19 April. The iconic red double-decker bus will once again be serving up over 35 handcrafted fudge flavours – from nostalgic classics like vanilla and clotted cream to more adventurous options including Vimto and Skittles – offering a sweet treat for visitors of all ages.
Mark Lemon, Centre Manager at Mermaid Quay, said:
“Easter is a fantastic time to visit Mermaid Quay, and this year we’ve created a fun, interactive experience for families to enjoy together. From the Easter Egg Trail and creative activities to the return of the Great British Fudge Bus, there’s something for everyone to enjoy by the Bay.”
Located in the heart of Cardiff Bay, Mermaid Quay is home to a wide range of restaurants, cafés, shops and attractions, making it the perfect destination for a spring day out.
