Sparky Saturdays: You’re the Boss!

Get hands-on experience of life as a Store Manager – design and run your own M&S store.

What will your store look like? What will you sell? How will you welcome customers and look after them while they shop?… You’re the boss!

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and have a go at being the boss.

You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar!

Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.

Have a look at our Family Visits page to find out more about getting here and what to expect.

Booking details: No need to book, just drop in – it’s all free!
