Manx charity Junior Achievement has teamed up with Shoprite to run a craft fair and mini Easter egg hunt at their store in Victoria Road from 10am to 4pm on Saturday April 19th, Sunday April 20th and Monday April 21st.

All the action takes place on the mezzanine floor directly above the till area, with the craft fair featuring a range of handmade crafts from local artisans.

Junior Achievement chief executive Sue Cook said: ‘Shoprite have been great supporters of Junior Achievement so it was only natural that when we were looking for a venue they were the first people we approached.’

Shoprite’s Gillian Harvey said: ‘The Shoprite Group is a long-standing supporter of Manx charities. Our stores are very much at the heart of local communities across the Isle of Man so we are pleased to offer the facilities provided by our Victoria Road branch to Junior Achievement for what I am sure, knowing Sue and her brilliant team, will be a fun three-day event.’

Sue added: ‘The store’s mezzanine floor is ideal for what we have planned. We have room for 20 stalls so would like to encourage anyone interested in hiring one to contact us.”

There is disabled access to the mezzanine via a lift and customers enjoy free parking and free admission to the craft fair.

The mini Easter Egg Hunt is ?2 to enter. Anyone who finds all the eggs will be put into a draw to win one of five prizes, including a Cadbury’s official bear and giant egg.
