Shopping centre manager Jackie Cuddy said this summer’s kids club had gone “phenomenally well”.

“The children have had so much fun and improved their fitness!” she said.

“Most of the sessions were full and around 80 families enjoyed the treasure hunt."

Ms Cuddy added: “We are now putting together the autumn holidays kids club where fitness will again be a strong feature.

“However, we are looking to introduce something a bit different to keep it fresh.

“Unlike past autumn kids clubs, it will run for three days on each of the two weeks, from Tuesday until Thursday.”
