Dalton Park, the popular shopping outlet in Seaham, County Durham, is launching a dedicated Wellness Week aimed at helping visitors refresh their routines and prioritise self-care. The week-long event, commencing on January 26, will feature a series of free activities, community initiatives, and exclusive retail deals designed to inspire and support the local community.
A Week of Free Wellness Activities
Throughout the Wellness Week, Dalton Park will host an array of complimentary events to encourage physical and mental wellbeing. On Tuesday, Climate Action North will lead a guided nature walk starting from the park's pollinator garden, located near the M&S entrance, offering a chance to connect with the outdoors.
For those interested in health and safety, the Red Sky Foundation will visit on Sunday to provide life-saving CPR training. This session will not only teach essential skills but also offer guidance on maintaining heart health, highlighting the foundation's impactful work.
Retail and Refreshment Offers
Shoppers can enjoy special promotions and treats during the week. On Monday, the first 10 people in line at Costa who show Dalton Park's Wellness Week email or social post will receive a complimentary matcha. Additionally, ETTO has partnered with The Works to set up a cosy book swap stand; anyone who swaps a book can claim a free coffee with the purchase of a slice of cake.
On Friday, the Dalton Park team will distribute free flower bundles to visitors from 11am to 2pm, adding a touch of nature to the shopping experience. Well-known brands such as Molton Brown and Rituals will offer free hand and arm massages along with gift bags throughout the event.
Weekend Wellbeing Market and Competitions
A specialised Wellbeing Market will take over the site on the weekend of January 31 and February 1, featuring more than 20 local traders. Visitors can explore a variety of products, from vegan treats to botanical skincare items, supporting small businesses while focusing on wellness.
To celebrate the week, Dalton Park is hosting two competitions with exciting prizes. Two lucky visitors will have the chance to win a £100 gift card to spend at the park and a Wellbeing Hamper. Entries can be made via Dalton Park's Instagram and Facebook pages.
Exclusive Discounts and Community Focus
Major sports brands, including adidas and Puma, have confirmed extra discounts for shoppers who share the centre's social media posts, adding value to the retail experience. Richard Kaye, centre manager, emphasised the event's community-driven approach, stating, "Wellness Week is all about helping our visitors feel refreshed, inspired and supported."
He added that this initiative is the perfect way for the community to kickstart the year with some self-care, reinforcing Dalton Park's commitment to fostering wellbeing beyond shopping. The full schedule of free events and brand offers is available on the Dalton Park website, providing all the details needed to make the most of this rejuvenating week.
