This summer the Horsefair Shopping Centre turns 35 and they’re celebrating with a Summer Fun Day!

It has been 35 years since TV presenter Noel Edmonds visited Wisbech to open the centre and the fun day will mark this.

The event will take place on Thursday 10^th August from 10am until 2pm. All the popular favourites are returning to the centre for the day filled with free activities. There will be face painting, balloon modelling, a fairground ride for children to enjoy and watch out for the Jolly Jester.

Also during the event families can take a selfie at Hughes with their Noel Edmonds 80’s themed window!

Then at 11am and 12.30pm, Uncle Mick’s Magical Punch and Judy show will take place to entertain crowds. There will also be a variety of other stalls and attractions available on the day.

Throughout the day, children will be able to take part in the Horse Hunt Window Competition too with prizes for every child who successfully searches for the hidden horses in the Horsefair’s shop windows.

Throughout the week, to celebrate the Horsefair’s 35^th birthday, there will be a Horsefair History Photographic Trail where many shops will be displaying old photos of the site before the shopping centre was built.

Kevin Smith, Centre Manager of the Horsefair commented: “Our summer fun day is a fantastic way to celebrate our 35th Anniversary. We’ve got lots planned; including our photographic trail where people can walk round various stores windows and see photos of how the town centre used to look before the Horsefair was built!”
