Centrale & Whitgift in partnership with Croydon BID is bringing an epic Minecraft-inspired challenge to Croydon!
Mine Time: The Easter Challenge is a high-energy bungee run experience where players race against the clock to collect as many coloured blocks as possible. But be strategic – some blocks are worth double points!
The highest scorers in each age category will win an Easter prize! Plus every participant will receive a little easter treat just for taking part. Strike a post and celebrate your score at our podium photo op and track your score with our live leaderboard to see if you’re a winner.
Taking part is FREE
Plus little ones can join in the fun with our Brick Pits – where they can build their own epic block world from toy bricks.
Where: The Whitgift, opposite River Island
Dates: Monday 14th to Sunday 19th April
Times: 11am – 2pm & 3pm – 5pm
