Doncaster Lakeside Village: A Summer of Under-the-Sea Fun


This summer, we had the pleasure of transforming our client’s retail complex into a family-friendly under-the-sea adventure! With a Themed Prop Trail, craft Workshops, crazy golf, and more, we made a splash from start to finish.

The Brief

Lakeside Village wanted to transform their retail complex into the go-to family-friendly destination for the summer. The goal was simple: increase footfall, delight visitors of all ages, and create memorable, free activities that would keep families returning week after week.

The Results

From May through August, we delivered a full programme of ocean-inspired entertainment and interactive installations, including:

  • Rocky Reefs Crazy Golf: a free, under-the-sea-themed mini golf course complete with colourful props, fun obstacles, and everything provided for families to tee off.
  • Ocean-Themed Prop Trail: a centre-wide treasure hunt where visitors searched for six sea characters to uncover a secret word
  • Storybook-Inspired Craft Workshops: every Saturday from 26 July to 30 August, children’s books came to life with storytelling sessions, creative crafts, puzzles, and quizzes to take home.
  • Pirates Ahoy: swashbuckling performers brought extra fun with interactive shows!
