Back to school time – new school uniform needs to work as hard as you do! Discover how M&S puts schoolwear to the test, and design your own experiment to measure the strength and durability of our fabrics.

Bring the whole family to explore our exhibition and enjoy a cuppa.

You can also browse our dressing-up rails, try the Percy Trail and go shopping in the Penny Bazaar.

Free light refreshments included, or bring a packed lunch and use our indoor picnic space.
