THE transformer 'Bumblebee' and the 'Hulkbuster' Iron Man suit is set to feature at an upcoming event at a Carlisle shopping centre. 

The science-fiction favourites will feature at the Lanes Shopping Centre's free-to-attend event on Thursday, August 22, with fans able to meet Optimus Prime's right-hand transformer and the Iron Man suit which made its debut in the 2015 film, Avengers: Age of Ultron.

The event also follows the success of The Lanes Shopping Centre's first-ever comic convention on Saturday, August 3.

Ahead of the event, The Lanes' centre manager Susan Young was on hand to express her excitement.

She said: "We’re really excited to see our shoppers having fun with a visit from both an Autobot and Decepticon.

"We like to offer our customers that little bit extra when visiting The Lanes and we know how important it is for families to keep the kids entertained during the school holidays so are always looking to introduce something different to add to our offer."
