Karen Carr, regional marketing manager for intu, North, said:
“SpongeBob SquarePants certainly brings laughter with him wherever he goes, and we can’t wait to meet him and enjoy all of the free fun activities that he will be bringing to intu Eldon Square and intu Metrocentre during the Easter holidays, and to meeting him in person when he visits on 29 March (intu Eldon Square) and 5 April (intu Metrocentre). It will be necessary to book a slot if children would like to meet SpongeBob SquarePants, and families can pick up free wristbands in advance from the Customer Service Desk near Debenhams at intu Eldon Square, from Saturday 19 March, and the Here to Help Lounge in the lower Blue Mall at intu Metrocentre (from Saturday 26 March). There’s going to be a lot of giggling when SpongeBob comes to visit!”
Trevor Pereira, commercial and digital director of intu, commented:
“During the Easter break it can be difficult for parents to keep children occupied for a whole two weeks; here at intu we want parents to enjoy stress-free shopping trips and what better way than with the therapy of laughter. So in partnership with Nickelodeon we have created an exciting programme of activities for children to enjoy, allowing parents to truly relax in a safe environment.”
