A DARLINGTON shopping centre is putting on a range of activities for children over Easter.

Entertainers will appear at Queen Street Shopping Centre from Bank Holiday Monday, April 12, and will perform every day until Saturday, April 17.

All the entertainment will be free, and the programme will feature visits from the Easter Bunny, Humpty Dumpty, Mr Jellyspoon, Specky the clown and a face painter.

The entertainment will involve interactive comedy, plate-spinning, unicycling, face masks and tattoo motifs.

Other activities include close-up magic and balloon modelling.

Rory Fleming, centre manager, said: "It can be hard to keep children entertained for the whole of the two week Easter break - we hope we can help keep them amused for a little while in Queen Street."
