Harrogate's Victoria Shopping Centre will begin 11 days of celebrations this week marking its 30th birthday.

Tomorrow's official birthday date will see visitors receive a free birthday cupcake from 10am at the centre.

The celebrations will then continue until November 20, adopting a 'looking back' theme.

A screen installed on the ground floor will show photos and videos of the centre, as well as news clips from the last 30 years.

People are being inviting to send their own images or videos to be included on the screen, creating a community time capsule. They can be uploaded on the centre’s website.

A birthday party from 11am to 3pm on November 19 and 20 will include visits from favourite 1990s movie characters, including Lightning McQueen on the Saturday and The Terminator on the Sunday.

Giant 90s themed props will also appear throughout the centre to provide selfie opportunities.

There will also be a free photobooth on the first floor and family party games, crafts and prizes on the ground floor.

James White, centre manager, said:

“We are hoping that our birthday party will be an opportunity to bring together a town that is full of pride about its own history, something that Victoria Shopping centre greatly represents.”
