A HOST OF SUMMER HOLIDAY FUN

These school holidays  McArthurGlen York Designer Outlet is introducing a host of free fun activities to keep the kids entertained throughout the holidays. Each week will see new free activities arriving in the centre, from creative workshops to tea parties, all inspired by the theme of the great British garden.

Alongside a programme of arts and crafts, there will be garden games for all the family available all summer long. This will include giant Jenga and Connect 4, as well as regular colouring competitions for the little ones.

Take a peek at our full schedule of fun for your diaries this summer…

Fun in the Garden Make & Believe Workshop – Thursday 4^th August

Create and decorate a pretty pinwheel spinner, perfect for catching a summer breeze in the garden. We’ll also have the comedy chaps Gardener’s Question Time entertaining around the centre – keep an eye out for them.

Garden Tea Party – Thursday 11^th August

Everyone loves cake, which is why we’ll be celebrating summer with a Garden Tea Party. Kids can come and enjoy our cupcake decorating classes and participating adults will get a voucher for a free cup of tea, all whilst being entertained by the dynamic duo – The Cake Ladies.
