A LEGENDARY department chain has revealed the exact date it will close its doors on a “huge” branch for good.

House of Fraser is pulling down the shutters on another shop after closing various sites over the past few months.

The popular clothing retailer recently confirmed it would be shutting its Bluewater branch after 25 years of service.

The department store is operated out of large unit which occupies two floors in the shopping centre.

House of Fraser confirmed that they will be offering shoppers a 20 per cent discount to empty the store, which is set to shut on November 27.

Despite the major loss, another large clothing chain is set to replace the retailer at Bluewater, according to Kent Online.

Next is strongly tipped to take over the unit once House of Fraser closes their store for good.

The popular clothing chain recently announced that it has raised its annual profit outlook for the second time in less than two months.

The Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce warned that the departure of House of Fraser could negatively impact other traders who benefit from the foot traffic generated by such a large store.

Chief Executive Tudor Price said: “Customers may stop returning once they realise the anchor store is no longer there.”

Shoppers are gutted after learning of the popular branch’s pending closure.

Hundreds have taken to Facebook to vent their frustrations.

“No!! No more clothes and bags” cried one user.

Another commented: “I feel sorry for the staff.”

While a third said: “End of an era.”

However, several customers were happy that House of Fraser would no longer have a unit in the shopping centre.

A former employer wrote: “Good worked there for years horrible place.”

And this user added: “No one goes shopping anymore, it’s all online, knock it down and build some very much needed social housing.”

It comes after a major high street games retailer with 240 branches is gearing up to close one of its sites.

And with the cost of living crisis wreaking havoc on Britain’s purses, many of us are shopping exclusively in the sale section.

But you don’t need to splash out to get involved.

Here are free or affordable Batman activities . . . 

MEET A HERO: There will be Batman character visits at selected The Entertainer stores every Saturday until October 19.

Follow @entertainer_toys on Instagram for information.

There is also a costume character visit in Hamleys in the Westfield complex at White City, West London this Sunday.

For older fans, Batman Unmasked: The Exhibition is on now at Covent Garden, central London featuring a collection of props and costumes.

General tickets are £24.50 but if you are a group of ten or more you will pay £19.60 each.

FACE PAINTING:  If you are in London this Sunday, there will be Batman face-painting at Hamleys’ Regent Street store.

Otherwise, get a Halloween face-painting kit for £1 at Poundland, and create your own Batman design.

There are lots of free tutorials on YouTube that you can then follow to create picture-perfect face art on your child’s face.

MAKE A MASK: If you have spare black paper, card or even scrap material you can use it to create Batman masks for little ones.

Put the paper against your child’s face and make marks so you know how wide to make the mask — plus markers at the top of the cheekbones and forehead.

Draw the shape of the mask before cutting.

You just need two little pointy ears either side at the top and two almond shapes for the eyes, the bottom curves over the cheeks and nose.

Make small holes either side of the mask before threading round string, ribbon or elastic to fit your child’s head.
