Get ready for a summer of excitement and joy as the White Rose Shopping Centre brings back its Kids’ Carnival due to popular demand! From 26th July to 1st September, this family-friendly event promises a fantastic day out during the school holidays, with even more thrilling rides and activities for children of all ages.
The Kids’ Carnival boasts an array of rides and attractions that will delight visitors. Classic favourites such as the Dodgems bumper cars and the exhilarating Runaway Train ride are sure to provide plenty of fun. For those who love a good spin, the Twister and the enchanting Balloon Race will be crowd-pleasers. Younger guests can look forward to trying their luck at the Hook-a-Duck challenges, and there’s free face painting to add an extra splash of colour to their day.

No carnival would be complete without some tasty treats, and the Kids’ Carnival delivers with a wooden cabin sweet shack. Indulge in traditional fairground sweets, fluffy candy floss, delicious donuts, and refreshing cold drinks. Plus, don’t miss the giant deck chairs and fantastic photo opportunities to capture those special moments.
The Carnival is open daily from 11am to 9pm and is free to enter. Ride tokens are available for purchase at the box office, priced at £1.20 each or 10 for £10. There’s also a special discount for NHS staff and Blue Light card holders, making it even easier to enjoy the fun.

In a thoughtful touch, the Carnival will operate without music from 11am to 12pm every Tuesday, coinciding with White Rose’s weekly Quiet Morning. This ensures a more relaxed experience for those who prefer a quieter environment.
Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose, said: “We’re excited to announce the return of the Kids’ Carnival this summer holiday, following its incredibly popular debut earlier this year. Offering rides for all ages plus pocket-friendly tokens, and with our all-weather play area right next door, a day at the fair is an easy win for parents this summer. With 5,000 free parking spaces plus hundreds of shops and restaurants with something for all the family, we’re looking forward to seeing lots of happy guests this summer.”

The Kids’ Carnival opened on Friday, 26th July, so don’t miss out on the fun! For more information, visit White Rose Shopping Centre.
