THE Brazilian samba spirit came to the Brooks Shopping Centre to mark the start of the Rio Olympic Games.
The shopping centre had two giant avian amigos and children also got into the spirit and enjoyed making their own bird masks at a free craft workshop.
It comes as the Olympics is in full-swing after a stunning opening ceremony last Friday.
The samba spirit will continue as there will be an Olympic-themed medal making session on August 13 and then 20 between 10am and 4pm on both dates.
