People of all ages are invited to have fun in the ball pit which features a whopping 700,000 balls.

Everyone taking a dive into the pit will have a chance at finding balls featuring one of HARIBO’s iconic sweets.

Each special ball will bag the finder a prize, including everything from Haribo share bags, to collectable goodies.

And for the first time ever there will also be a Haribo pop-up shop, allowing sweetie fans to buy treats and merchandise you won’t find anywhere else.

This includes Haribo Drums featuring Yellow Bellies, Giant Happy Cola and Rhubarb & Custard alongside classic favourites like Tangfastics and Supermix, as well as unique Haribo scented Goldbear plushes, teddies and Starmix flasks.
