Sparky Saturdays: You’re the boss!
Design and run your own M&S store. What will your store look like? What will you sell? How will you welcome customers and look after them while they shop…? You’re the boss!
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!
