HARIBO Brings UK’s Largest Ball Pit to Bluewater

Calling all kids and grown-ups! It’s time to get ready for a summer packed with free fun and laughter together. HARIBO, the makers of everyone’s favourite sweet treats, is bringing ‘Hide n Seekers’ to Bluewater Shopping Centre this August and it’s set to be a scorcher!

Fun seekers young and old can make happy memories and experience a range of feel-good activities, including the UK’s biggest ball pit, featuring a whopping 700,000 balls – the perfect dose of sunshine filled entertainment. And the best bit… it’s free to take part!

But this is no ordinary ball pit: people of all ages will have the chance to dive into the spectacle for a chance to find a ball featuring one of HARIBO’s iconic sweets. Each special HARIBO ball will bag the finder a sweet prize, including everything from HARIBO share bags of Tangfastics and Starmix to HARIBO collectable goodies.

And for the first time ever, HARIBO’s Hide n Seekers will feature a HARIBO pop-up shop, allowing sweetie fans to buy HARIBO and MAOAM treats and merchandise you won’t find in your local supermarket or sweet shop. 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 gems like scented Goldbear plushes, teddies and Starmix flasks.

No summer day out is complete without an obligatory selfie, and visitors will have the chance to make their photos ‘pop’ with giant HARIBO sweets, Goldbears and sweet bags – the perfect snaps for spreading joy and sharing with friends.

Live for 21 days over 4 weeks, ‘Hide n Seekers’ won’t be around forever, so be sure to visit us for a day filled with fun and laughter… and one or two HARIBO sweeties.
