Trinity Leeds has announced a packed programme of fun to celebrate the shopping centre’s 10th birthday.
The Leeds city centre attraction opened on March 21, back in 2013, and has been a popular shopping destination ever since. A crowd of 130,000 people attended the eagerly-anticipated launch event, 10-years-ago, with a specially-curated performance orchestrated by British fashion designer Henry Holland including a 49ft-long dress as the centrepiece, modelled by a former Cirque Du Soleil performer hoisted high up in the air above the crowds.
Looking to the future, to mark the Trinity Leeds milestone, a birthday celebration will be held for 108 members of the shopping centre’s team with commemorative badges and cupcakes. Over the weekend of Saturday, March 25 and Sunday, March 26, DJs will be spinning top tunes from 2013 to entertain shoppers and there will be prizes given away to visitors.

A photo exhibition will also be installed across the pillars underneath the main atrium, celebrating memorable moments at Trinity Leeds. Steven Foster, Trinity Leeds centre director, said: “It’s fair to say since Trinity Leeds opened back in 2013 it has surpassed many people’s expectations of what a shopping centre could be.
“Over the years we’ve become an integral part of the landscape of the city centre, putting Leeds on the map as a leading retail and leisure destination, while playing a key role in the community.
“We’re proud to have supported so many good causes and champion independent retailers, providing a platform for them amongst big high-street names – all while helping create some fantastic memories for guests, from incredible events and attractions such as the giant T-Rex and a super-sized slide to illuminated drummers and celebrity meet and greets. Celebrating such an incredible milestone means so much to us all at Trinity Leeds, and it speaks volumes that more than 100 of our fantastic team have been with us since we opened our doors a decade ago.
“The face of retail has changed significantly in the past 10 years, we’re proud that Trinity Leeds has stood the test of time, as we continue to adapt and stay a step ahead of the curve. We’re committed to continuing to build on the success of Trinity Leeds for years to come, and can’t wait to see what’s in store for the next 10 years.”
