Loraine Jones, General Manager at The Mall Blackburn, said: “The summer break hasn't been blessed with lots of sunshine this year, so we’re introducing some weatherproof fun to end the holidays on a high.
“Our Myths and Magic Masterclasses are jam packed with creative projects to make and take home and all activities are free!
“In addition, we’re looking forward to welcoming some ‘real-life’ dragons to The Mall and we’re sure shoppers will be mesmerised!
“The fun starts on Monday August 21 and everyone is sure to have a magical time!”
