Father’s Day done right
Searching for fun Father’s Day plans? Look no further! From thoughtful gifts and delicious dining to unforgettable experiences, O2 Centre has everything you need to celebrate the special men in your life. Here's how to have a memorable day out that the whole family will enjoy.
Show him you care
Treat him to his favourite savoury snacks or a slab of Tony's Chocolonely to go with some refreshing lagers and golden ales from Sainsbury’s and Aldi – including plenty of alcohol-free options. For quirky gifts and cards, head to Flying Tiger, which has an eclectic selection of fun Father’s Day games, gadgets, homewares and other fun finds.
For the difficult to buy for...
Are you shopping for a gadget lover? Why not get him to browse the Argos catalogue to pick out a shiny new toy? He’s probably had his eye on that camera, fitness watch or new smart coffee machine for months! Whatever he’s into, you’ll find lots of great gift ideas to make Father’s Day extra special at O2 Centre.
Or, you could always spoil your father figure with the ultimate shopping spree at Waterstones. Whether he’s into gripping thrillers, epic sci-fi adventures, fascinating biographies or thought-provoking history books, he’s sure to find plenty of brilliant books to stock up his collection.
For food-loving dads, explore the fantastic range of cookbooks at Waterstones, featuring cuisines from around the world, including Asian and South American favourites, alongside barbecue bibles, inspiring plant based recipes, bread-making guides, and much more.
Relax at the cinema
After a busy morning exploring the shops, wind down in style at Vue, where you can sink into luxurious Ultra Lux seats, grab some popcorn, and enjoy the latest blockbuster together.
Top tip: The hottest cinema seats get booked up quickly, so make sure you secure yours early to get the best view in the house!

Enjoy a family meal
Celebrate the big man with a relaxed family meal at one of our popular dining spots. Whether you’re stopping by for a tasty lunch or a laid-back dinner, there’s something to suit every taste. Tuck into flame-grilled chicken at Nando’s or a tasty sandwich and iced latte at SOHO Coffee and enjoy spending quality time together.
Time to shine
Give his car the VIP treatment this Father’s Day with a visit to IMO Car Wash, which uses 90% recycled water and biodegradable products. Whether his wheels need a quick refresh or a full clean, it’s the perfect way to shine up his pride and joy. While the car gets a sparkling finish, why not grab a coffee and a sweet treat from Starbucks?
