Cheshire Oaks plans "one-off gig headlined by top-secret 2000s icon" for 30th anniversary
The countdown has begun to 'summer's greatest secret' with the Designer Outlet's upcoming 30th anniversary celebrations including an 'exclusive gig headlined by…'. Well it's all hush-hush right now as far as who will take to the stage on 6 June for that exclusive appearance is concerned. But we know at least the mystery star is an '00's icon with multiple UK No 1 hits'. The event will be hosted by Hits Radio DJ Kimberly Wyatt, with the headline act supported by a live DJ performance from Take That star Howard Donald. Importantly, the free, one-off, charity-supporting event kicks off the summer to celebrate 'three decades of style, shopping and culture' for the centre in the Wirral. The centre claims to be the UK's largest designer outlet with over 400,000 sq ft of retail space housing 165 brands, and its general manager Kenny Murray, said: "This anniversary is a moment to celebrate the rich history and vibrant future of Cheshire Oaks. We have evolved continuously over the last three decades, and now it's time to celebrate in true style. 'Over our 30 years we've built a real sense of community that makes this centre special and we want to celebrate this milestone with the local area and people so close to our heart.' Earlier this year, Cheshire Oaks unveiled its 2025 Style Report, revealing that 63% of Britons now prefer shopping in person rather than online, as well as the resurgence of nostalgic fashion trends from the 90s, from baggy trousers to full denim looks, returning to pride and place in wardrobes across the UK.

Overnight parking proposed for park and ride sites
Plans to introduce overnight parking at park and ride sites in York are among a number of proposed changes being put out for consultation. City of York Council wants to hear people's thoughts on the plans, which also include increasing accessibility and refurbishing toilet facilities. The council has earmarked £4m of funding from a £17m government grant to improve park and ride services, which were used 4.5m times last year. Kate Ravilious, executive member for transport, said the proposed changes would "increase transport options for everyone". Five of York's six sites are included in the project; Poppleton Bar, Grimston Bar, Askham Bar, Rawcliffe Bar and Monks Cross. The Designer Outlet is not owned by the council, so would not be affected by the planned upgrades, it said. Overnight car parking would be introduced at Rawcliffe Bar and Askham Bar, with better located dedicated spaces for oversized vehicles at the two sites as well as Grimston Bar. Ravilious said: "By introducing overnight parking at two sites we will offer a convenient alternative to driving and parking in the city centre, helping to reduce traffic congestion, improve bus reliability and free up the roads for those who need to drive." There would also be overall improvements to waiting facilities, toilets including changing places, cycle parking and lockers. "I'd encourage everyone, whether you live in York or further afield, and whether you use the Park and Ride or not, to feedback on our proposals and help us maximise the benefits of the Park and Ride site upgrades," Ravilious added. The proposed changes come after rises in the price of parking in the city, including at Bishopthorpe Road's car park where charges have increased from 80p an hour to £4.85. The consultation is open until 9 June.
