HALF-term week at intu Uxbridge had a distinct space travel theme, including a virtual reality experience and a Big Moon Rock Dig, challenging youngsters to track down alien life form.

The week finished with a workshop to design spacesuits and colourful rockets.

Natasha House, marketing manager at the shopping centre, said, “We had a great week exploring the solar system and creating space experts. You never know we may have inspired the next Tim Peake.”
