A NEW outdoor events space has been created in the heart of the Five Valleys Shopping Centre. 

The area opened last weekend when a series of food demonstrations by Weber BBQ were hosted, tying in with the town’s Festival of Food and Drink.

Family activities an a space outside for live music and entertainment will be on offer when the market opens until 8pm on a Friday.

Centre Manager at Five Valleys, Jack Simpson, said: “We launched the new events space over the weekend and the feedback was great from both shoppers and our retailers.

“We can’t wait to share the full events diary with you, which will be launching on our brand-new website this week.”

The space will be used for local performers, free children’s events, mother and toddler groups, evening entertainment, cookery demonstrations, fashion shows and more.

Mr Simpson said: “We have an ice cream vendor taking some space soon and we are hoping to secure a wine /cocktail bar to take some space throughout the year.

"I am interested to hear from any other small businesses who wish to take advantage of the space and footfall here.”
