Over 200 little fans got Market Walk, Chorley, buzzing as they jumped at their chance to meet their TV hero Bob the Builder during February half- term.

Pat Duckett, Centre Manager at Market Walk, comments: “We received such a great response to Bob’s special visit, the children behaved impeccably and were so excited to meet him- I was hoping that he might be able to teach me a thing or two to help me with my DIY skills! The parents also had a ball as they were able to snap up the half-term bargains.”’
