Andy's Backyard

  • 25th July - 22nd August

Andy’s coming…

To infinity and beyond… the well awaited movie of the summer is in cinemas but we’re even more excited to announce that Festival Place will be hosting our very own Toy Story twist!

We’re running a summer long celebration as we embrace our inner child and attend Andy’s Backyard! Through a series of community events, games, and offers, we’ll be bringing all the laughter, play, and nostalgia to the mall. 

As toys ‘come to life’ and families come to play, be sure to head to Festival Place and reach for the sky as we embark on an unforgettable adventure!

Stop Press: our Retail Therapy Couch returns on 25th July. It’s time to confess your retail weaknesses, talk about toys from your past, and share shopping stories…

Dates for your diaries*:

  • 25th July – Andy’s Backyard Toy Swap Shop PLUS Retail Therapy Couch
  • 1st August – Make your own slinky dog
  • 8th August – Build, design & create a plane
  • 15th August – Paint your own ‘brick’ minifigure
  • 22nd August – Bug building brilliance
