Summer Holiday Fun for the Whole Family at White Rose

White Rose Shopping Centre is set to welcome the Kids Carnival this summer, bringing six weeks of fairground entertainment to South Leeds.

Running from Friday 24 July until Sunday 6 September, the event will feature new activities including inflatable axe throwing, penalty shootouts and flamingo pedal boats. The free-to-enter carnival will open daily throughout the school holidays from 11am to 9pm, offering rides and attractions for visitors of all ages. Traditional favourites will include Teacups, Hook-a-Duck and Dodgems, alongside the popular Runaway Train.

New attractions are set to add to the summer fun, with families invited to test their skills at inflatable axe throwing and a penalty shootout challenge. Visitors can also take to the water in colourful flamingo pedal boats, offering a more relaxed way to enjoy the event. From hitting the bullseye and competing for the highest score to enjoying a leisurely float, the new activities promise plenty of entertainment throughout the school holidays.

Ashleigh Kellett, Deputy Centre Director at White Rose Shopping Centre said:

“Kids Carnival always goes down a treat with our guests, so we knew we had to bring it back this summer. Packed with fun activities for all ages, it’s another reason that White Rose is the best place to keep the family entertained this summer.

“Whether you’re visiting for the rides, a day out shopping, or to enjoy something delicious to eat, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for a summer full of fun.”

With thousands of free parking spaces, a broad selection of family-friendly restaurants and cafés, and entertainment for all ages, White Rose offers everything needed for a summer day out. Visitors can also enjoy the newly opened Volcano Falls adventure golf and the bowling experience at King Pins, adding even more options for families looking to make a full day of their visit.

Whether you’re visiting for the rides, a day out shopping, or to enjoy something delicious to eat, we’re looking forward to welcoming everyone for a summer full of fun www.white-rose.co.uk/en
