Swindon shoppers set for a superhero summer

Shoppers in Swindon can don their masks and capes this summer and show off their super skills thanks to a month of free activities in The Brunel shopping centre.

Starting on 1stAugust, every Wednesday a different superhero will be visiting The Brunel and helping little ones make their own hero inspired outfits.  Buzz Gym will also be holding free gym tots sessions to help youngsters hone their super powers.

Superheroes will be appearing between 11am and 3pm in The Crossing.  Craft activity will take place on the lower level of The Arcade, together with the super power gym tots sessions.

Your Holiday Starts Now

Appearances include:

1st August            Batman

8th August           Spiderman

15th August         The Incredible Hulk

22nd August         Supergirl

29th August         Iron Man

Weekly competitions will also be running on The Brunel’s Facebook page for families to win the opportunity to meet and eat with their chosen character.  A superhero-worthy lunch for two adults and three children will be up for grabs for those wanting to have a bite with Batman or snack with Supergirl.

Jane Stewart, Acting Centre Manager, said: “The summer holidays can present families with a challenge in finding activities to fill the days without costing a lot.  These free Superhero Summer Wednesdays are an ideal opportunity to have fun, be crafty and get moving too thanks to Buzz Gym – although we hope the children won’t perfect their skills so much that they’re swinging through the centre on web shooters or practising their Hulk smash!”
