About Braehead’s Summer Of Fun

Listed Under Family and Kids Events / Days Out Events / Shopping Events / Summer Holiday Events

Spanning a massive 64 square metres and filled with over 100,000 colourful balls, the ball pit will take over the Central Atrium daily from 5th July to 20th July, following last year’s overwhelming success.

To kick off the summer celebrations, Braehead will be hosting an unmissable summer party on the opening weekend of Saturday 5th - Sunday 6th July with live DJ sets, roaming stilt walkers, giveaways and more, in what promises to be an unforgettable experience for everyone of all ages.

Adding to the incredible line-up of activities, Braehead are giving visitors a chance to win gift card prizes to spend at the centre with two exciting competitions, Colour Trail and The Golden Ball!

For a chance to win, visitors will be tasked to solve riddles which will provide clues to locate rainbow-coloured shapes around the centre. Once the trail has been completed, participants can post their details into a letter box in the Central Atrium to be added to the prize draw which closes on Friday 25th July 2025.

Between 1pm – 2pm on the opening weekend, Braehead Shopping Centre will challenge visitors to find the golden ball. With 26 prizes up for grabs, winners will receive gift cards for any retailer of choice to spend at the centre!

With an unbeatable mix of shops, dining, and entertainment, Braehead is your one-stop destination this summer. From summer fashion must haves from M&S, Primark and Next to back-to-school essentials from brands new such as Flying Tiger, MINISO and Smiggle. Primark, Relax with a tasty bite at Five Guys, Prezzo, YO! Sushi, or Popeyes, there’s something for everyone. You can even check out an event at Braehead Arena!
