A huge fairground is returning to The Trafford Centre for the Easter holidays.
The popular Jungle River log flume will be back at the site, which has hosted previous events including last year's Summer Social and Spookfest. As well as vintage funfair with rides for kids of all ages, Spring Escape will feature live musicians, a variety of food and drink and a brand new show Roar! from Gandeys Circus inside the Big Top.
A spokesperson for The Trafford Centre said: "The vintage funfair will bring fun for everyone from tiny tots to thrill seekers including a log flume, Waveswinger, tea cups, bumper cars, hook a duck, a fun house, bungee trampolines and much, much more."
