The centre has teamed up with Havant Library to promote The Summer Reading Challenge, an initiative which will encourage kids aged four to 11 to read at least six library books over their break from school.

Children can also enter a Roald Dahl colouring competition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the author’s birth from July 27 to August 3.

The winner will receive a selection of Roald Dahl books, courtesy of WHSmith.

To celebrate this year’s Olympics in Rio on August 10, shoppers will be entertained by two giant carnival birds flown in from Brazil.
