Centre manager Karen Cox said: “Our children’s craft workshops are extremely popular with families. Join us this Saturday and get coronation creative. We can’t wait to see the little ones decorate their very own crowns.

"Our stores are street party-ready with lots of decorations and everything you need for the royal celebrations.”
