Last year, The Harpur Centre invited children to let their creativity run riot and they’re doing it all over again this year, with the launch of Kids Club activities running up until the end of July.
Throughout the summer, the family-friendly events include activities and competitions to keep little shoppers entertained.
The life-sized mascot, Harpur, made its first appearance last November and will be making regular appearances to meet and greet young guests and pose for pictures.
Joining the club is free of charge and aimed at children aged three to 15 years-old.
