Summer activities to keep the kids busy at John Lewis

12 August 2024

With a few weeks left of the summer holidays, keep the kids entertained with a range of activities on offer at John Lewis on Oxford Street.

Don’t miss out on an epic treasure hunt

While away a few hours with a Squishmallow Treasure Hunt in-store. Characters from the Squishmallow range have gone missing throughout the store and hold clues to a 6 letter word. Successfully crack the code and reveal the word to win a sticker sheet to fill in with all the very best Squishmallow characters.

Fun-filled face painting

Face painting is always a winner, so don’t miss out and visit the fourth floor on Saturday 17 August for free face painting from 12 – 3pm. From lions, butterflies, superheroes and so much more, fill your Saturday afternoon with wonder as your kids transform into their favourite character or animal!

Story time with kids’ favourites

Looking for some chilled-out activities? Story time is always a great way to slow things down. Head to John Lewis on Wednesday 14 August and join Peppa Pig for a fun-filled story time and music event, tickets cost £7 (only required for children and aimed at 2-7 year olds) and can be redeemed against any Peppa Pig product. Book here. If your children are a little older, PAW Patrol story time is a must! Enjoy a read-along with a PAW Patrol character from the PAW Patrol Daring Dragon Rescue book. Slots are available on Wednesday 21 August, and every child will receive a copy of the book. Aimed at 4-7 year olds, book here.

Lunch is sorted at the Place to Eat

After having worked up an appetite, head to the Place to Eat and enjoy fresh food prepared daily with kids eating free when adults spend over £10 on lunch. The perfect accompaniment to any of the activities above!
