WELCOME TO Kings Square
Kings Square is one big hit of nostalgia for the 80s and 90s.

So, step back to the future, pull on your leg warmers and deeley boppers, and pop on down to Kings Square.
WHAT'S ON
Ghostbusters
The famous ECTO-1 car from the classic 1980s film Ghostbusters is coming to Kings Square. The Cadillac Miller-Meteor limo-style endloader combination car is a perfect copy of the film' original.
