The nomination is to recognise the innovative outdoor Revolution Launderette that was installed at the centre in February.

The launderette is up for an award in the “commercialisation innovation of the year” category and is up against five other shopping centres including the Bullring in Birmingham.

Centre Manager Kevin Smith commented: “I’m over the moon with this SCEPTRE nomination. It’s amazing to see the Horsefair listed alongside some of the most prestigious shopping centre’s in the UK. The launderette has proved to be incredibly popular, it’s such a unique idea that not many places in the UK have so to be recognised for commercial innovation is brilliant! Just being shortlisted is a great achievement that I’m very proud of but it would be fantastic to go through and win!”

The results will be announced at an awards ceremony at the Dorchester in London on Tuesday 21st June.

Kevin Smith from the Horsefair is delighted that the Revolution Launderette has been nominated for a SCEPTRE award.
