Sparky Saturdays: Food of the Future

What’s on your plate for 2026? Be inspired by previous M&S hits and imagine the food of the future. Create your own unique dish in clay form and photograph it in our mini-studio. 

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition, enjoy a cuppa and predict future food trends!

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!
