A brave bunny surprised a group of excited children when he hopped into a city shopping centre to sniff out some Easter adventure.

Making its debut at the Castle Mall, the Kastle Kids Club opened its doors this week and kicked things off in style with a visit from Peter Rabbit.

Castle Mall shopping centre's manager, Amanda Phillips, was 'really pleased' with how popular Monday's launch was.

She said: 'It was great to see so many of our loyal customers attending our launch day. We are so pleased to be able to give something back to our shoppers by providing free entertainment for families over the school holidays.'

The fun will be continuing next week with a variety of free activities for children.

And finally, the Castle Mall have also lost their own bunny, Hoppy, and will need help finding him.

People will be able to look for him in the centre, take a photo of him or with him and then share it on social media, and also have the chance of winning one of the daily prizes.
