Shopping centre plans weekend of bank holiday fun – including an indoor field
HAVE you ever been left frustrated that your bank holiday plans have been ruined because of a spell of bad weather? Sick of getting rained on during a picnic? Well, you may be in luck this late May bank holiday.
Merry Hill Shopping Centre has announced its programme of fun Bank Holiday activities, including something rather unique.
The centre will be covering its central event space in the lower mall with real grass, turning it into an indoor field.
From Friday, May 23 until Monday, May 26, shoppers will be able to sit down and enjoy a picnic, take part in sports day events and have a boogie at a silent disco.
You can leave the umbrellas and suncream at home, and won't even have to worry about bugs as Merry Hill gears up to "bring the outside in".
The centre said shoppers can also just head to the field for a 'moment of relaxation or to catch up with your loved ones during your shopping day'.
It said: 'Just turn up and touch the grass (literally!)'
The event is completely free and will make sure that you can enjoy the bank holiday weekend, whatever the weather.
