What’s more, high street slime store, Gootopia, is the ultimate destination for guests this summer. The store will be hosting Tropical Beach Slime workshops until 1st September, with guests able to immerse themselves in a sensory wonderland of slime with summer-themed scents. They will be able to create their own tropical slime masterpiece, with watermelon, coconut, kiwi and mango scents as well as exotic colours and mix ins. Every child can take home their personalised slime after the workshop and have a share of the giant slime too.

The Migration Museum is open during the summer break with guests able to see WALL. The exhibition showcases two separate surviving fragments of the Berlin Wall which were painted on by contemporary artists STIK and Thierry Noir between 1984 and 1989.  With an aim to change perceptions of the wall, demystify it and remove its threat by making it colourful and ridiculous, the artwork has been lauded as a symbol of friendship to all without exception.

Paul Redden, Centre Director at Lewisham Shopping Centre, said: “We are delighted to be hosting a range of family-friendly activities for our guests throughout the summer months.

“We’re particularly excited to be hosting a selection of workshops to celebrate the return of the Olympics – we’re sure they will be a hit, and we can wait to see our guests’ get creative!”
