Merry Hill is set to bring a packed programme of free family entertainment to the summer holidays with the launch of Game On, a two-week celebration of sport, gaming and community activities.

Running daily from 11am to 3pm between 27 July and 9 August, the event will transform Garden Court on the Lower Mall into a hub of interactive activities designed to keep children and families entertained throughout the school break.

Visitors can take part in football challenges hosted by the West Bromwich Albion Foundation, cricket activities with the Worcestershire Cricket Foundation, boxing taster sessions, karate demonstrations and mini golf. Gaming fans can also enjoy a dedicated Gaming Zone featuring PS5 simulators in partnership with Harvey Norman.

The programme will also feature acrobatic performances and family-friendly activities from a range of local organisations, offering something for all ages to enjoy.

Alongside the free entertainment, visitors can make the most of a variety of family dining offers available across the centre during the holidays, while the popular Artisan Market will return on Sunday 9 August showcasing handmade crafts, artwork and local produce from independent traders.
