NottinghamLIFE: Nottingham talent to take centre stage at summer spectacular

 

Local talent will take centre stage at Nottingham’s shopping centres this weekend (2 and 3 July) as part of one of the city’s biggest summer celebrations hosted by intu Victoria Centre and intu Broadmarsh.

 

Students from Nottingham Academy and Take One dance group are just two of the talented performers that will entertain shoppers at intu’s ‘Everyone’s Invited’ weekend which takes place at the centres every year.

Nicola McCabe, marketing manager at intu in Nottingham, said: “We are really looking forward to celebrating the summer in style at our centres this weekend and can’t wait to see such fantastic local talent perform during the event.

“The local community is hugely important to us and we are really pleased to be able to include the students from Nottingham Academy and Take One in our brilliant Everyone’s Invited event.”
