A "mischievous" guest will visit the Ipswich shopping centre's tropical-themed family day on 27 May, to celebrate the release of the new Lilo & Stitch film during May half-term.
Why it matters: The free event offers family entertainment, including free face painting and the chance to win cinema tickets for the new Lilo & Stitch film.

The details: The Buttermarket Centre is hosting an "Aloha Adventure Day" with a Hawaiian theme and activities including:
Free face painting for children
A selfie station with special backdrop
Prize draw for a family ticket to see the new Lilo & Stitch movie at Omniplex
What they're saying: "We're looking forward to welcoming families for a memorable and fun-filled Aloha Adventure Day," says Rebecca Bird, Buttermarket Centre Manager.
