Charitable donations over the two-day event will be going to the Buddy Bear Trust which is based in Dungannon and operates a Conductive Education School which serves the needs of children living with cerebral palsy, and tickets are available from the Customer Service Desk for £5 per person or £18 for a family of four.

Shoppers can expect to see state of the art costumes and sets, along with some of their favourite Star Wars characters. There’s no doubt the force will be strong in Rushmere this weekend, for this amazing exhibition which promises to excite and ignite imaginations of all who come and visit.”
