Spindles celebrated its 25th birthday in style at the weekend.

Centre Manager Mike Flanagan was joined by members of the Debenhams team who had worked in the store since it opened in 1993.

He presented them with champagne, chocolates and a certificate as a token of this fantastic achievement.

The cake was taken up to the mall space outside Waterstones, where it was shared with the Spindles shoppers.

Visitors had the opportunity to wish Spindles a Happy Birthday on one of their birthday cards.

One card will be selected at random and the lucky customer will be presented with a £100 Debenhams voucher.

Younger guests were entertained by Shopping Susie who was joined by face painters, balloons modellers, a cake decorating workshop and an art area.

Mr Flanagan said: “It was a great day and a fitting way to celebrate 25 years of the Spindles.

"We would like to thank all the Centre staff, the retailers in the Centre and our customers for their ongoing loyalty and support.

"We’re looking forward to the next 25 years!”
