WH Smith has announced an event to celebrate the opening of its new Toys 'R' Us concession outlet in Dunfermline.

The retailer will be hosting a grand opening event on Saturday, November 16, where the new addition will open within their store on High Street.

The opening of the new toys and games range was revealed by the Press in July after Fife Council approved a planning application to put up Toys 'R' Us signage in store.

The original high street chain went into administration in 2018, but plans for a relaunch were confirmed in October 2022 with an exclusive agreement with WH Smith to open a number of concessions.

The opening event will take place from 8.30am to 1pm, with Geoffrey the Giraffe joining the WH Smith team for an official ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The first 50 children visiting the store will also receive a free Toys 'R' Us goody bag worth more than £15.

The new shop-in-shop will feature a 'range' of products and activities from popular toy brands including Barbie, Bluey, Hot Wheels, Lego, Marvel, Paw Patrol, Peppa Pig, Squishmallows and Star Wars.

Children will be able to access the 'latest products' and play hands-on with their favourite toys at the demonstration tables in store.

A life-size Geoffrey the Giraffe sculpture for photo opportunities will also feature.

Dunfermline is one of 37 WH Smith high street stores set to open a new shop-in-shop from Toys 'R' Us before Christmas.

Ian Sanders, group commercial development director at WH Smith, said: "We’re really excited to be opening Toys 'R' Us in Dunfermline.

"WH Smith is known for being the hub of the high street by providing customers with a range of great products and services.

"Partnering with Toys 'R' Us gives us a leading toys and games range in our stores and means customers have even more reasons to shop with us.

"We look forward to welcoming many more customers into our store."
