Sparky Saturdays: Summer Styling
It’s summer holiday season, and time for a new M&S summer campaign. As Creative Director you’re in charge – styling, script, photography. Show the world your take on an M&S summer!
Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and try our activity.
You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!
Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.
No need to book, just drop in – it’s all free!
