Merry Hill is turning up the feel-good factor with a bold new experience that brings the outdoors in this Spring Bank Holiday.

From Friday 23rd to Monday 26th May, 'The Field' will take over the centre’s two event spaces, creating a real grass lawn spanning an impressive 1,100 square metres that will be filled with free, feel-good activities designed for people of all ages.
 
Throughout the four-day programme, visitors are invited to choose from drop-in events or simply take a moment to relax and enjoy a calming moment. In addition to the events, The Field offers curated activity boxes filled with books, toys, yoga mats, hula-hoops, ukuleles, picnic blankets and more. Plus, five four-leaf clovers will be hidden in the grass daily for the chance to win over £500 worth of surprise prizes.
 
Events include 'A Bear-y Big Launch' on Friday 23rd May, where children can bring their favourite teddies for guided storytelling, sing-alongs and a chance to win a brand-new bear in the Best-Dressed Teddy competition.
 
'Move, Groove and Play' takes place on Saturday 24th May when The Field gets a sporty spin with an energising line-up of fitness sessions and playful challenges. That's followed by 'A Taste of Summer' on Sunday 25th May where you can join the UK’s biggest indoor picnic from 11am.
 
The long weekend wraps up with Festival in the Field, a Bank Holiday celebration of summer vibes and creative fun on Monday 26th May where visitors can enjoy a silent disco with a live DJ and hands-on bath bomb-making workshops.
 
Jonathan Poole, Centre Manager at Merry Hill, said: “With the great British weather always keeping us guessing, we’re excited to welcome friends and families from across the West Midlands to Merry Hill for the second in our series of pioneering events this spring as we roll out one of the UK’s largest indoor lawns and make the joys of the season completely weather-proof.
 
“Now more than ever, people are looking for fun, shared experiences they can enjoy together in person – and from giant picnics to playful sports day activities, our line-up is designed to offer something for everyone.
