AS PART of its winter schedule of free events and activities, Manor West Shopping Centre and Retail Park is organising a family fun day on Saturday, November 5, from 12 noon. The day will feature plenty of activities for children of all ages, the highlight of which will be “the Animal Roadshow” which will be on site from 1pm.

The Animal Roadshow will host a mini zoo in the centre with a range of different types of animals including Snakes, lizard, tortoises, rabbits, guinea pigs, an owl and lots of creepy crawlies that are still hanging around after the Halloween celebrations, such as slimy snails, tickly spiders, scorpions and other teeny insects! There will also be an animal arts and crafts area where kids can draw, make and colour their favourite animals and bring their works of art home with them.

Derek Rusk, centre manager, said, “At Manor West, family is very important to us. We really enjoy organising these types of events and seeing all the visitors to the centre enjoying a fun filled family day out. I think I might be even more excited about the mini zoo than some of the kids will be!”

Kingdom Party Pals will be there on the day with Minnie and Mickey Mouse as well as Anna and Elsa among others, so don’t forget to take a picture and share it on the Manor West Facebook page. There will also be face painters, balloon modeller and ‘Tony Wonder The Magician’ with magic skills and illusions that will amaze visitors.
