Free Toy Hospital Pop-Up comes to OMNi this weekend
Edinburgh’s OMNi Centre is set to give beloved toys a new lease of life this weekend (20 – 21 June), as it hosts the Leith Toy Hospital for the very first time. Offering free toy repairs for local families. Coinciding with the buzz around Toy Story 5, visitors can bring along their well-loved teddies and dolls for expert TLC.
Run by skilled toy surgeons, the Toy Hospital based in Musselburgh specialises in soft toy and doll repair and restoration, giving cherished toys a new lease of life.
Visitors are invited to bring along teddies or dolls in need of repair to OMNi on 20 and 21 June where the Leith Toy Hospital team will be on hand to carry out first aid style repairs, along with prescription cards for toys needing further work offsite.
The pop-up toy hospital service is free of charge and charity donations for OMNi’s charity partner Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS) are welcome on the day.
Neil Mackie, OMNi Centre Manager, said: “We’re delighted to host Leith Toy Hospital’s expert team for the first time at OMNi.
“Offering free toy repairs is a fantastic way to give back to our community and bring families together around something truly special.”
Mari Jones, director of Leith Toy Hospital, added: “Favourite toys become part of the family, and just like Woody and Jessie, they each have a story to tell. It’s an honour to care for these treasured companions so that their stories can continue for many years to come.”
The free pop-up will take place from 10am-4pm on the 20th and 21st June, with no booking required. Free on-the-day repairs will include seam repairs, stuffing top ups, surface cleaning and sprucing up of fur.
The family fun doesn’t stop there… OMNi will continue its family entertainment into July, with money saving offers and a free craft station to keep little ones busy.
