TRINITY LEEDS
For the new exciting shopping experience right in the heart of Leeds City Centre, Trinity Leeds is the place to be. After a long anticipated wait, it has definitely been worth it. Since opening on the 21st of March 2013, people have flocked from all over the country to come pay this new attraction a visit which features over 120 stores along with cafes, restaurants and The Everyman cinema. With shops from Victoria Secret, Topshop and the Apple Store to restaurants like Giraffe, TGI Fridays and the exclusive rooftop restaurant, The Alchemist. The stylish layout of the 3 tiered building, elegant glass dome roofing and eight street entrances provides a very open ‘High Street’ effect rather than typical shopping malls, essentially connecting the busiest streets in Leeds. There is no heating and no doors to Trinity, the roof only allowing shelter from the weather to make it comfortable for shoppers to go out in all conditions. The boutique Everyman cinema is a unique addition showing new films daily, from 11am til late. Everyman Leeds shows a variation of quality mainstream films, independent cinema, live broadcasts and special events including weekly Kid’s Club every Saturday morning; late night cult classics and Baby Club matinee screenings for
parents with small babies. Something for all the family! Luxury sofa seating and accompanied footrests with wine coolers and tables to provide the ultimate cinema experience. There is also The Everyman Pizzeria which seats up to 100 people joined with the outdoor terracing and bar. There is also pop-up shops which will each be around for a short period of time. One Direction became the first pop-up shop for Trinity and also for the UK! Pop-up stores will also include Made In Leeds, selling fashion, art,
music etc. The stores aim is to ‘transform Leeds fashion industry to the next level’. More pop-up stores will open up and feature in the next year, letting shoppers have a different and unique
“EIGHT STREET ENTRANCES PROVIDE A ‘HIGH STREET’ EFFECT” experience every time they visit. One eye-catching aspect is the interactive screens that act like an Xbox Kinect system. This takes images of passer-bys to then be used in a series of themes using gesture-recognition. It will also have free Wi-Fi, 3G and 4G along with assistants to help you with internet-connected iPads. All this add to a more enhanced shopping experience. There is so much going on, from competitions to discount deals, gigs to shop events, Trinity Leeds doesn’t seem to ever stop.
