Family-friendly Easter activations

Mall of Cyprus and Mall of Engomi have always been committed to offering a family-oriented approach during holidays. From 12 – 18 April and again from 23 – 27 April, children can get creative in the Kids Playgrounds, where they can construct various Easter and Spring-themed arts and crafts.

Giving back to the community

In addition, Mall of Cyprus continues to support non-profit organisations such as Cyprus Blood Centre (on-site blood donations), Pancyprian Hemophiliac Organization, Toxotis Foundation, Ministry of Health (on-site dental services) and Compass of Love, ensuring we give back to the wider community during this season of reflection and renewal.

Retailer specials and traditional fasting

For many Orthodox Christians in Cyprus, the 40 days leading up to Easter Sunday is known as “Great Lent”, a spiritual period of fasting from animal products. Recognising this tradition, several of Mall of Cyprus’ on-site food retailers have developed special “green” menu items that are both vegetarian and delicious – think veggie burgers or vibrant green pasta dishes. These additions allow shoppers to enjoy a tasty meal that respects local customs right through to the grand Easter feast.

Adjusted trading hours and festive fun

On Holy Friday and Holy Saturday, retail stores (including the Sklavenitis supermarkets) close at 18:00. However, the food courts and arcade areas will continue with the normal trading hours, ensuring customers can still enjoy a meal or fun activity with friends and family.

On Easter Sunday and Easter Monday, all shops are closed, but once again, the food courts and arcades are open as usual for those wanting to get out of the house during the long weekend.

Creating a comfortable experience

With the season’s increased foot traffic, customer experience remains a top priority. Measures will be in place throughout the malls to ensure a pleasant experience for families. These measures include managing potential crowd surges and maintaining a fun, secure environment for children enjoying the Kids Playgrounds.

Marketing and communication

Social media channels such as Instagram and Facebook will be used to share updates on the Kids Playgrounds, special retailer offers and the spirit of Spring. Through these digital platforms, Mall of Cyprus and Mall of Engomi aim to keep the community informed of must-see events and assist tenant partners in promoting festive deals.

Measuring success and looking ahead

Easter is an important fixture on both malls’ calendar, as it allows the shopping centres to engage meaningfully with their community. They monitor footfall, social media engagement and customer spending patterns to gauge the success of their Easter campaign, gathering insights for future improvements. Ultimately, their goal is to position the malls as more than just a shopping destination, but as a place where families can gather, celebrate and create lasting memories all year round.

From kids’ crafts to creative menu options that honour local traditions, Mall of Cyprus and Mall of Engomi are the perfect places to celebrate Easter in Cyprus. Come and immerse yourself in the spirit of the season – where family, community and culture merge to create a truly memorable experience.
