Families are invited to enjoy a fun-filled week of slime at Merry Hill.

The shopping centre is hosting a new event at February half-term - Goo HQ - where family can enjoy an interactive slime-making adventure in the Lower Mall near Clarks.

The event, which runs from Monday (February 16) to Friday (Februrayr 20), will offer slime-tastic fun from 11am to 4pm each day.

The free event invites children to have the slime of their life with expert Goo-ologist, Professor Goo, guiding young Goo Masters through an interactive adventure.

During each 20-minute session, which run every 30 minutes throughout the day, children can pop on their provided aprons and get their goo on using child-safe and non-toxic ingredients.

With the support of Professor Goo’s expert team, young gooers will create their very own slime masterpiece – plus, visitors can take home their own pot of goo at the end of the session.

Plus, ensuring the event is enjoyable for all children, the first session of each day will be SEN-friendly with a reduced capacity and a quieter format.

Jonathan Poole, centre manager at Merry Hill, said: "Following the popularity of the Splatter Factory last year, we’re delighted to introduce a shopping centre-first slime experience for February half term, offering imaginative play to children of all ages, come rain or shine.

"We hope that the event will inspire young ones to get creative, and we look forward to welcoming families to the centre to discover Goo HQ and everything else on offer at Merry Hill throughout half term next month.”"

Tickets are available to purchase on the day with up to 20 walk-up tickets available per session.

Elsewhere, Merry Hill has recently welcomed Wendy’s and revealed the transformation of its M&S store, bringing the retailer’s full offer under one roof. The centre is also set to open the much-anticipated Carnival Golf and Games in the coming days.
