A SHOPPING centre in Orpington will be transformed into a petting zoo to help celebrate the Easter weekend.

Bosses at the Walnuts Shopping Centre are preparing for a special delivery of bunny rabbits, lambs and chicks as part of their Easter events on Saturday (April 4).

Visitors will be offered the chance to stroke and cuddle the cute additions to the mall.

There will also be a free Easter egg hunt and local craft makers will be selling handmade items for shoppers searching out holiday gifts.

Bunches of yellow daffodils will be handed out on the day to brighten up the celebrations.

Centre Manager Martin Price said: “There really is something for all the family and I am sure people of all ages will delight in meeting the animals at our special Easter farm.

“We look forward to welcoming shoppers on the day.”
