From the brand-new Dino-Paws and Dino-mite Party to the much-loved Easter Bunny Breakfast, there are plenty of activities at Dobbies to make this year’s Easter eggs-traordinary.
Dino-Paws
Dobbies is hosting a brand-new event, Dino-Paws, in support of Dogs Trust, taking place on Saturday 4, Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 April. Well-behaved dogs are invited along to enjoy a fun-filled event that includes dinosaur themed treats, toys and games with their owners.
Dogs can unleash their inner dinosaur at Dino-paws, with the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy some fossil fun. The event includes a Dino Dig Site for dogs to sniff, dig and unearth hidden treats, a dino-themed toy, a dog cookie to take home, and a digital photo in front of the dinosaur-themed backdrop taken by a Dobbies’ colleague.
Dogs will also get to take part in a sniff-ari around the store, where they can explore their surroundings and will be guided on a scent adventure. The sniff-ari activity helps dogs decompress, make their own decisions and build confidence, leading to a more content pup. After taking part in the dino activities, dogs and their owners can enjoy a puppuccino and a hot drink in the dog-friendly restaurant, which is free when owners purchase a slice of cake or breakfast roll.
Tickets for the Dino-Paws event are priced at £15 per dog and the experience is taking place in 50 stores. The Dino Dig is recommended to last ten minutes, followed by the 25-minute sniff-ari. By joining the event, guests are invited to donate to Dogs Trust’s vital work to provide care, rehabilitate and rehome thousands of dogs each year.
Dino-mite Easter Party
Also new to Dobbies this year is the Dino-mite Party, a dinosaur themed afternoon event for children and families. The party will be filled with fun, prehistoric activities and games, and children will have the opportunity to meet the Dobbies’ dinosaur.
The Dino-mite Party gives budding palaeontologists the perfect opportunity to take part in a roar-some adventure. The party includes dinosaur-themed games, and the chance to create their own dino egg terrarium to take home. Then children will get to continue the excitement by taking part in a racing dino car activity.
Following the fun, the hungry explorers can tuck into a dinosaur-themed menu designed especially for the Dino-mite Easter party. With T-Rex Crunch Bites and Dino Dippers, there is plenty to fuel the appetite.
The Dino-mite Party is suited to families with children aged 3-10 years old, and children under 3 can still take part in some activities with the support of an adult. The event will take place from Thursday 9-Sunday 12 April, with tickets priced at £18 for children and £14 for adults. The event is expected to last 90 minutes.
Easter Bunny Breakfast
Dobbies’ Easter Bunny Breakfast is back by popular demand and taking place on Friday 3 and Monday 6 April. The whole family can enjoy an Easter breakfast together, with a selection of cooked, vegan and pancake breakfast options for children and adults.
After everyone has eaten, children will have the opportunity to meet a special guest, the Easter Bunny, who will be hopping about the store, and get involved in Easter activities and games. The event also includes an Easter craft experience, where the children can create an Easter nest to take home.
Children’s tickets are priced at £18, and this includes breakfast, games and activities, meeting the Easter Bunny and the Easter craft experience. Adults' tickets are priced at £11.75, including breakfast. The event is expected to last 90 minutes,
Dobbies’ Events Programme Manager, Ayesha Nickson, is excited to welcome families along to enjoy the in-store activities this Easter. She said: “Our Easter Bunny Breakfast is always a family favourite and a lovely way to bring everyone together to celebrate the occasion.
“This year, we have added brand-new dinosaur events, Dino-Paws and the Dino-mite Party, that are set to be popular for our young dinosaur fans and four-legged friends. We can’t wait for our customers to get involved in the fossil fun.”
