See the PJ Mask heroes soar into Merry Hill for the start of the summer holidays

Just one week to go until the summer holidays start for us, who else is excited? Or worried about how to keep the kids entertained for six whole weeks?! Hubs and I are alternating annual leave to cover off the whole holiday and I want to enjoy lots of things with my little man, as well as having some time to relax too (we do have a bundle to prepare for after all!).

I've shared a few ideas for things to do over the summer holidays in the Midlands already - Cadbury Character Breakfasts, Octonauts: Shark Mission at Sea Life Centre, Drayton Manor, Conkers, Park Lives, Symphony Hall Inside Out - and now have some news from Merry Hill to share in case this is something else you want to add to your must-do list...

Join the PJ Masks at intu Merry Hill when they soar into the West Midlands for some heroic fun!

Children can enjoy a special day of heroic fun at intu Merry Hill on Tuesday 21^st August when Catboy from Entertainment One’s (eOne) PJ Masks takes over the popular shopping destination.

Fans of the popular animated TV series, which airs daily on Disney Junior, Tiny Pop and Netflix, will be able to meet their favourite character and take part a specially created ‘Hero Training Academy’ being run at intu’s other shopping centres across the UK as part of its offer to local families.

They will learn how to move like their favourite PJ Masks hero by enrolling in the ‘HeroTraining Academy’ and also have a photo taken with Catboy who will be soaring into the West Midlands to make special appearances at the free, fun-packed event.

There will also be a competition to win a set of PJ Masks prizes.

Rob Pickersgill, marketing manager at intu, said: “We’re coming to the rescue of families across the country by working with eOne to bring the PJ Masks to kids at intu Merry Hill where they can enjoy an afternoon of free, fun entertainment. Families can visit our centre to take part in the activities we’ve lined up and we can’t wait to see the smiles on their faces when they see what we have in store.”
