Can you find your way around The Rock’s Marvellous Maze this summer?

A free maze will return to The Rock Shopping Centre this August, following its success in 2022.

The shopping and leisure destination has announced that its Marvellous Maze will be back for the summer holidays, with families encouraged to try and find their way around it.

The maze will be located in The Rock’s main event space – St John’s Square – and will be open daily from Thursday 1^st August until Saturday 31^st August.

Plus, on Wednesdays in August the maze will come to life with characters and children will be encouraged to help find ‘Sally Skittles’ for a chance to win various prizes from The Rock’s retailers.

Arnold Wilcox-Wood, Centre Director at The Rock, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing the Marvellous Maze back for the summer holidays, it was a roaring success in 2022 so we thought it made perfect sense to bring it back.

“We know families are always looking for fun and free activity and this certainly ticks those boxes. The activity on Wednesdays with Sally Skittles and her character friends proved so popular the last time we ran this activity so we’re sure it’ll be a big hit again; we can’t wait to welcome them back to delight our visitors this summer.”

The live activity on Wednesdays will run from 11am until 3pm and is completely free.

The beach and rides are also back at The Rock for the summer holidays.
