Yo-ho-ho and plenty of fun at centre

Children made hats, masks and telescopes in a free craft workshop led by Yorkshire seafarers Horatio Swash and Molly Buckle.

There were also singalongs and the chance to find hidden goodies in shop windows during a treasure hunt.

St Johns manager Susan Mendoza said: “It was a fantastic day, full of fun. Our comedy pirates were hilarious and thoroughly entertained shoppers of all ages.

“It was lovely to see so many children making wonderful hats and telescopes.”
