Every year more than 10 million families visit us across the world for a unique Hamleys experience where we bring to life many Worlds of Play. Every visit to Hamleys is a reward in itself, the toy purchase is a bonus for the child. I am sure children will build lasting memories of fun and joy while adults will relive memories of their childhood at Hamleys in Liverpool.”

Alison Clegg, director of asset management at Grosvenor Europe, said: “Hamleys holds a very special, and sometimes nostalgic, meaning for many people, and we’re delighted to bring this joyful experience to Liverpool ONE. The star appeal, calibre and experience of Hamleys will add a new dimension to Paradise Street and to our wider retail offering, which has thrived since reopening in June. Hamleys is an exciting addition for the destination as we continue to drive Liverpool ONE’s momentum towards Christmas.”
