Haribo has brought the UK’s largest ball pit to Bluewater.
The sweet maker began running its Hide n Seekers experience at the Dartford shopping centre this week – and there are lots of free fun and sweeties up for grabs.
People of all ages are invited to have fun in the ball pit which features a whopping 700,000 balls.
Everyone taking a dive into the pit will have a chance at finding balls featuring one of Haribo’s iconic sweets.
Each special ball will bag the finder a prize, including everything from Haribo share bags to collectable goodies.
And for the first time ever there will also be a Haribo pop-up shop, allowing sweetie fans to buy treats and merchandise you won’t find anywhere else.
This includes Haribo Drums featuring Yellow Bellies, Giant Happy Cola and Rhubarb & Custard alongside classic favourites like Tangfastics and Supermix, as well as unique Haribo scented Goldbear plushes, teddies and Starmix flasks.
Visitors will also have the chance to take selfies with giant sweets, Goldbears and sweet bags.
The Hide n Seekers event will be live for 21 days over four weeks this August. It will take place in a marquee in the Village beside the restaurants and boating lake.
It is a free event and no booking is required.
Hide n Seekers will be open until Monday, August 28.
On Wednesdays, Thursdays and Mondays the event will be open from midday until 7pm.
On Fridays and Saturdays, it will be open from midday until 8pm and on Sundays, it will be open from noon until 5pm.
