A NEW Haribo store and a new restaurant are helping to ensure a retail park has a spring in its step.

Cheshire Oaks has launched its Springtime Social and in already in place are a feast of family-friendly attractions, including a vintage carousel, water walkers and bungee trampolines at a dedicated events space.

Adding to the attractions on Wednesday, April 10 will be the new Leon sustainable fast food restaurant, while on April 16 the new Haribo store will officially open its doors to all sweet-toothed fans.

Elsewhere at the retail park there will be an assortment of barbecue items for foodies to choose from, as well as an abundance of other indulgent treats, from loaded fries to ice-cream and pick ‘n’ mix sweets.

The centre will have specific trading hours over the Easter period, opening from 9am-8pm on Good Friday, Easter Saturday and Easter Monday, with all shops under 3,000 sq ft open from 10am-6pm on Easter Sunday (larger stores will remain closed due to Sunday trading laws).

The Cheshire Oaks Springtime Social will run until the May day bank holiday on May 6.

However, making its return on May 24 following a successful running last year is the award-winning Summer Social, complete with all the spectacular activities enjoyed by guests in the spring, plus outdoor cinema screening classic family favourites and a pop-up cocktail bar.

There will also be undercover, alfresco seating areas.
