THE Kingfisher Shopping Centre is pulling out all the stops to keep the kids entertained this summer, with family activities planned for every week of the summer holidays.

Every Thursday from now until August 27 between 11am and 4pm there will be a variety of activities, workshops and giveaways for youngsters to get stuck into.

On Thursday, July 30, shoppers can meet Channel 5 favourites Ben and Holly at regular intervals throughout the day.

Get ready to limber up on August 6 when fun circus workshops spring into action, while kids will be encouraged to come dressed as their favourite superheroes on August 13, for superhero-themed activities and the chance to win fab prizes.

The following Thursday, August 20, Tree Fu Tom will be sprinkling a bit of magic on proceedings when children will get the chance to enjoy a special meet and greet.

The fun doesn’t stop there as on Saturday, August 22 the centre welcomes Star Wars’ famous Stormtroopers who will be landing in the centre promoting a fabulous Special FX show at The Palace Theatre.

And that’s not all - children will also be able to enjoy face painting, balloon modelling and regular visits from Kingfisher’s friendly kids’ club mascot, Charlie the monkey, who will have prizes to give away all summer.

Ken Williams, the Kingfisher Shopping Centre’s general manager said: “We’re very much looking forward to delivering a packed programme of activity to entertain and surprise families throughout the summer.

“We’ve put together a jam-packed schedule to ensure families have an enjoyable and stress-free summer without breaking the bank.”
